    That looks great! Log cabins are alot of work but so worth it. I am always amazed when beginners start on one, they look easy but get cat-a-wampus quick.

    Your fabrics/colors are terrific, and it will be a wonderful quilt when you are finished. Just take it a couple blocks at a time, and you'll be finished before you know it.

    Do you make your blocks by completing one at a time, or do you do many/all the blocks one round at a time?

    I have always done mine by starting out doing a bunch of the blocks completing one round on all of them, then on to the next round on all of them. Somehow this way seems less tedious to me because when I have one finished, I have a bunch of them completed.

    When I tackle one of these, I think I will do it as chain piecing - you know, first sew 2 strips & cut into '2 patch' pieces. Then cut strips into the same length and join to the two-patches. Keep cutting strips for the next side and sew, till all rounds are finished. Hopefully it might be quicker.
