The finished blocks measure 4 1/2 inches square. Since there are 8 blocks across and 8 down, the entire quilt is about 36" plus the binding.

Thank you for your kind words. I am pleased with it too and am now planning quilt #2.

Wow! Beautiful quilt. Welcome to the board. This board is a great source of information for beginners and seasoned quilters alike.

Turned out great!! Certainly a lot better than my very first which, I too, have hanging in my sewing room to remind me of how far I have come. Love your fabric choices. Keep up the good work.

Love the colors and the lay out of the squares. I don't think I have ever seen that layout before.

Just want to say you have done a beautiful job on it. Your fabric selection is wonderful, too. Congratulations.

Just beautiful, you did a great job. Brings back memories, my first ever quilt was also a log cabin, hand quilted because then I had no idea you could do it by machine, plain muslin backing because that's what my grandmother always used. The things I have learned since, LOL. May your quilting journey continue, that first quilt hooked me!

It's beautiful whether it's your first or your 20th quilt! Log Cabins are so versatile and beautiful.

Wonderful color choice. You are a natural. Not many first quilts look like that.
