When I constructed the watercolor floral log cabin, I kept wishing the block ended with a floral, rather than a light. So I drew it out, made four to play with (when one doesn't have EQ6 one must use graph paper and crayons :lol: ), and am thinking it ought to work. There are 15 pieces vs. 17. I measured it at every square along the way--and it's fine.
But will I like it as much? Your thoughts? The original. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...m/IMG_2217.jpg[/img] My idea.

i think it looks great - i think i prefer this way actually

I always thought that a log cabin block should only have 1 small square block, not 2. I like your idea for the blocks better.
|
I really like your idea- and setting it on graph paper- I'm visual too!
|
I really like the second way much better.

Hey--thanks! I knew you'd all give me good replies... like the one center square observation. I never thought of that. I had to cut one light strip at 1.5" for the original... the rest are 1" cuts. Mine seems more traditional I guess. And since no measurements have changed I can use all that's leftover from the last one (or I wouldn't change!).
I think I'll like the next floral log cabin better than the first one! :D |
I'm a graph paper person, too.
I (sometimes) get inspired on how to put it together when I'm drawing things. Don't know why it wouldn't work. Does it matter if the first piece added to the square is a neutral or a floral? |
