I was inspired by the beautiful doll quilts on this board and have been making this off and on for ages. Finally did the binding today after two attempts at quilting it which I ended up by doing hidden quilting as the log cabins were enough detail I felt. Thanks for looking.

This is so cute. What size logs did you use? They look about 1 inch strips but it's hard to tell.

Yep - 1inch logs. I wanted them that small so I could use all the scraps I had but of course it was a little small really for a first attempt at foundation piecing and log cabin and I can't quite imagine doing an enitre quilt with that method. Lovely and accurate of course and I am in awe of people who manage larger quilts with this method and tiny logs.

lace is a nice touch--the logs don't look that bad for being off-grain...
