While reading about the history of Log Cabin Quilting I once read that the traditional color for the middle of the block is either red or yellow to symbolize the warmth of the hearth.

MTS, it's so great when you take your time to print these examples to help us envision how something is going to look. Just wanted to thank you for all the times you have done this in a thread, it's so very helpful.
Hugs and smiles......
