Good choice of fabrics. I too love the curvy log cabin.

Beautiful! My first quilt was a log cabin in an "ABC" class. Only 12 blocks for the lap quilt and that seemed overwhelming at the time. I've not seen this curved layout and I love it! Thanks for the inspiration to go back to this.
Take your time and enjoy the journey. :)

It looks like you're going to have one gorgeous quilt! Take your time, enjoy what you're creating, and if it gets to be too much, put it away for a while. Be sure to show us the finished product.

It's all about the journey not how long it takes to get there. My first quilt was a cathedral window hand made quilt. (About 5 years on that one) Next was a hand pieced and hand quilted sampler quilt, about 3-4 years on that one. I made lots of quilts in-between. Now I'm starting a Baltimore Album appliqué quilt, which I pick up in the evenings and sew a little or take to appointments with me. If it takes a year, so be it. Fulfillment.

When I made mine, I assembled it like Jan describes making several blocks at once in a chain piece method. I also precut my logs to size, not all of them. I would cut some, make some, lather rinse repeat. Another thing I did to speed up assembly was I finger pressed between logs and only iron pressed when the block was complete. I made 6.6" unfinished blocks and had a grand total of 168 blocks. It was my "mindless" sewing project and I was able to sew blocks together even when I only had 10 or 15 minutes to sit down to sew. It seemed to go together quickly. What took a long time was waiting its turn to quilt it.
It is one of my favorite quilts and is my regular bed quilt. Here is a link to pics I posted of it. https://www.quiltingboard.com/pictur...g-t275921.html

It's gorgeous! Going to be a masterpiece... Just take your time and enjoy the making. Eleanor Burns has a fun way to chain piece log cabins. Check out any of her log cabin books.
