I've never seen a log cabin quilt I didn't like! I need to make one again as I haven't for several years.

Like the log cabin pattern, my daughter has choosen that pattern for her grandmother to make her for her wedding quilt when she gets married--not soon. Her grandmother will make it this fall -- in shades of blue -plaine colors no prints, my daughters choice. My mother has only two grandchildern, my son has choosen a double wedding ring in colors of beige and purple-plain and prints, for his grandma to make for his wedding gift-when he gets married.
