This quilt is an incredibly simple one block pattern; color placement makes the quilt. Look closely and you will see that it is a square with one "snowballed" corner. Period.

And the border is a "snowballed" rectangle.

THERE ARE NO "TRIANGLES" IN THE QUILT, all squares or rectangles!

Movement of the background fabric really makes this kind of piecing pop....since you aren't doing the work (because it's so easy!), the fabric has to!

4-squares-to-the-inch graph paper is my friend!!:-D

And since you all liked that one log cabin so much, here is another.

Now I know why I had not submitted it earlier, it's so small you can't see a thing. I'll try to get a better photo at some point. The border fabric in this one is truly yummy -- a very early 1800s reproduction print of an East Indian turkey red from a line by P & B Fabrics.

What an interesting log cabin!
You were very clever to figure out that using that one fabric in strategic places made an additional feature I have never seen before ... it looks like lace, and really does change up the texture of your log cabin.
what a novel idea!
Good show! <wave>
