I have a log cabin quilt on my adjenda. I am sorry I can not help you as I only tie. I just wanted to say as others have the quilt is beautiful. I love the tans and browns.

My log cabin, I did SID. I think it keeps the straight line look.
I have seen fancy stitching in the white areas, but usually the quilting is lost in the darks. |

Maybe it will help. If not....you'll enjoy the eye candy! :D http://www.quiltingboard.com/user_page.jsp?upnum=2203 |
Wow! Beautiful!

I love your choices of colors. Very pretty!! I always have someone machine quilt mine. If I were going to do it myself, I'd do stitch in the ditch along the seam lines tho.
Does anyone remember who posted the gorgeous floral log cabin on here a month or so ago. I've been collecting floral fabrics to make one, but have some questions for the maker. |
I love the look of Baptist Fans on a log cabin quilt.
I also like the look of feathers or leaves on the light paths and SID or some straight line quilting on the dark paths. I happen to be quilting hearts on a strange little log cabin quilt today. It is a banner for the nursing school of the University of Pennsylvania. It's embroidered with their school motto: "Penn Nursing: Care to Change the World." Hearts seemed appropriate. |
Vote for stitch in the ditch - makes the log cabins really "log" cabins
|
I agree with Whinnytoo, feathers using a variated light thread or a dark thread maybe also variated.

You quilt is lovely.
I have made several log cabin quilts and I hand quilt in each log in the ditch, or you could quilt the L's in each block, either way looks good. |
