What book did you say you used for the log cabin?

Thank you.
I cut all the strips 1.5" for a finished 1" log. I learned to make log cabin quilts from Judy Martin's Log Cabin Quilt Book. She gives great instructions for how to select your fabric, cutting, organizing, stitching the blocks, and assembling. The book also has a number of original log cabin-based quilt designs.

Did you foundation piece your blocks? You have inspired me! I just happened to pick up a long 2" ish strip of brown off the floor, I think I see a scrappy log cabin coming up!

No, I did not foundation piece. If you can sew straight lines you don't need a foundation for a log cabin, especially using Judy Martin's techniques.

Foundation piecing is using something under the fabric, usually muslin, as a foundation. Paper piecing can also be called foundation piecing.
