Or I see you have a link to patterns you sell! Please let me know (you or mts) if you post it. Thank you, everyone so much!!!

MTS, I love that mathematical with an artistic bent mind of yours. You make life so easy for some of us. One more for the bucket list.

Very pretty variation, thanks for sharing :)

I do not know that pattern, but I noticed a few things about the construction.

1. Those blocks have a sashing. One row's thickness with a single square at the corners.

2. The first round after the center block looks like a standard chimneys and cornerstones pattern.

3. I did find this tutorial, which is similar but not quite the same in proportions. It's called "converging corners":

4. I don't think you can chain stitch these blocks like you would normally do a log cabin pattern. Looks like each one is individually made because of the precise measurements of the sides. Notice how the dark colors step by the same amount in each successive round? Looks like increments equal to the width of each round. Tedious!

It is a beautiful effect, though, like a log cabin Irish chain. Hope you find more help!


ETA: Just read some of the other posts and realized I've reiterated some. Oh well, at least I can feel like the link added a little value :)

wow, MTS... you were nice to illustrate the pattern. We'll all know who to call upon when we get stuck. LOL

This looks very easy to follow from the photo - I never use formal patterns. If I see a photo of a quilt that I like, I just copy it! Once you have your blocks done, lay them out on your design wall (or floor in my case) and play around with them until you get the diagonals the way that's most pleasing to you.

That is a really beautiful quilt. How is it quilted?

wow what a group of talented people. It took me a bit of time to see the split logs, didn't see the sashing until it was pointed our. What a great groop, always willing to share

Wow MTS and dunster, those are great illustrations. I think I can even follow them, but if not, know I can ask for help. MTS, do you use graph paper? And dunster, you said you use EQ - is that hard to learn - and is it primarily to create patterns, and has it been useful to you? I know hubby will be wanting some ideas from me for Christmas gifts, and ...maybe???
