That is a great log cabin, you made it look modern. I love scrappy and have been making quilts with various ways using string blocks. But I need to give this one a try with the 1 1/2 strips. Thank you for sharing yours

Start with the square. Add a 2 1/2" dark strip to the "top" of the square. Then a 3 1/2" light on the "right" of the square. Then a 3 1/2" dark to the top. A 4 1/2" light on the right. A 4 1/2" dark on top. A 5 1/2" light on the right. A 5 1/2" dark on top. A 6 1/2" light on the right. A 6 1/2" dark on top. A 7 1/2" light on the right. A 7 1/2" dark on top. And finally, 1 8 1/2" light on the right. That's it. I hope this helps.


Perfect! Thank you.

I am always excited, thrilled and amazed when I see a traditional pattern repurposed and used to create a really modern looking quilt. You did it! The best of both worlds. Stand up and take a bow. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wink.png
