I agree to STD for the blocks. How about a Greek key pattern in the borders?

What lovely work and what a beautiful runner! You did an awesome job.

What kind of batting are you going to use? That would make a difference. Maybe try a google image search for twisted log cabin quilts and see who others have quilted them. There is a book out about this pattern too.

the book is titled: Log Cabin with a twist

Beautiful work.

What beautiful work.

I like the movement so I might start in the middle of each block and do a progressive spiral to give it more movement and then maybe crosshatch in the border.

i love it! perhaps concentric circles?

SID would probably be your best bet over fmq, Sometimes simple is just better for certain types of patterns

What a great design, just love it and great job
