faux log cabin top FINISHED
On Sunday, the 23 of February, I posted pictures of a WALLPAPER fabric and how I cut it into 8 inch squares, cut 2 of them into 2 triangles, and then by flipping them, got a faux log cabin block.
This is a picture of the wallpaper fabric.

This next picture shows how I cut and rearranged them to come up with the log cabin block.

So on Sunday, I sat at my machine, and sewed. Too cold up here in ND to go outside and I got all 40 of the blocks sewn together. I laid them out on the floor and found some border fabric in my stash and put it all together. And this is what I came up with. I sure would not hesitate to pick up fabric like that again. It was a quick top to put together.

Now the issue is what color of border do I put on it to finish it off? I have a picture with a dark blue, which in reality, I didn't care for, but in the picture it looks great. Then I took a picture of a dark green, which in reality I liked, but in the picture I don't. I have a problem

Here is the green border

Enough already, time to get back to the sewing room. Thanks for looking and any and all comments are welcome.

I agree. I was thinking the color or your roses.
