I like dunster's suggestion, that you could arrange them in the spectrum of the rainbow. You could also try them in what I think is called "Thinking outside the box" There are so many possibilities with log cabin blocks, look forward to seeing your finished quilt.

Thanks for the nice comments and encouragement 
That's a great idea! I made a plan on graph paper and know how many more blocks of each color to make. I am thinking that I'll make it 8 blocks across and 10 blocks down.
In bed this morning I thought, wouldn't it be nice to add a strip of fabric for a transition between each color section. I'm thinking about tone-on-tone fabrics. Between the green and yellow, I would put a strip of yellow-green fabric, and so on. I'll have to play around--not sure that will work.
