UFO - Decisions, Decisions... opinions?
 

This is the first quilt I ever started. These are the first fabrics I bought, first rotary cutter experience, I sewed it on my aunt's machine. I didn't even have my own machine at the time! Now it's time to wrap up this log cabin UFO and finally piece it together... but there are so many options! I laid out the blocks on my bed because I am not lucky enough to have a quilt wall. This quilt is for my Dad who has a red white and blue bedroom.

Sorry the color is off. The lighting wasn't great.

That's the problem with log cabin blocks - too many options for the layout. Personally, I like the diagonal, the star or the barn raising. No help, huh. :)

I like second row first two.

I like the star or the barn raising. They are very nice and manly. But so is the diagonal.

ditto from me! you're going to have fun with finishing this one!!

WoW! this will look sooo great, I like the top/right :)

I like the top right, bottom left, and bottom middle layouts.

I like the barn raising. That looks great for a first quilt - it looks great for any quilt.

Barn raising (center bottom) is always a favorite of mine so I vote for that setting. Straight furrows (top center) is also very nice for a mans quilt. You also have the added interest of a very subtle zigzag forming in the dark furrow which adds additional visual interest.
