I learned to make log cabins from Judy Martin's book. I made her Snake River log cabin, but changed the block a little bit and changed the layout a lot. If you scan down you will see a layout of my blocks that's similar to the one on the cover, but the actual quilt in the top pictures looks nothing like it. That's one of the beauties of log cabins - so many possible layout options. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...py-t25246.html

Here is a link to the quilt here on the board.

You will not regret buying this book. Snake River is next on my list, then a beautiful Bargello from Keepsake Quiling! Just have to finish a Christmas wallhanging. I can hardly wait!!

They have them as low as $6.00 here... tho' it might be used: https://www.google.com/search?q=Judy...&bih=598&dpr=1

Oh, wow...........I HAVE that book AND the ruler. Just might be an idea for my next church raffle quilt. Woo HOO. Thanks for sharing your interest and info. LOVE those Log Cabin blocks!!!

I saw a quilt pattern this week that is a lot like the picture on the referenced book except it was not a log cabin pattern. The quilt that I saw was a variation of the Drunkard's Path quilt. It had the curved pieces laid out in the same way as the Martin Log Cabin.

Dunster, that is so beautiful!
