what a beautiful quilt!!! I don't think of it as scrappy -- I love all the bright colors and to arrange it so differently. Wonderful !!

That is a great variation, I like the large centers with the skinny logs!

I didn't have a pattern, but here's some help. The beginning of the block is a 2 1/2" dark square. All the strips are cut at 1 1/2" in width. The blocks are 8 1/2" square before you sew them together. You assemble each block as follows:

Start with the square. Add a 2 1/2" dark strip to the "top" of the square. Then a 3 1/2" light on the "right" of the square. Then a 3 1/2" dark to the top. A 4 1/2" light on the right. A 4 1/2" dark on top. A 5 1/2" light on the right. A 5 1/2" dark on top. A 6 1/2" light on the right. A 6 1/2" dark on top. A 7 1/2" light on the right. A 7 1/2" dark on top. And finally, 1 8 1/2" light on the right. That's it. I hope this helps.

That is awesome! Kudos to you for being able to do that and keep everything straight I am not a scrappy quilter at all, and always marvel at those that are.

Yessss... I'm just beginning to sort scraps for 'something'... this is a very nice thing! I'm finishing a quilt with the center made of traditional log cabin blocks...this is just different enough to make me want to try it! Awesome design and finish!
