Log Cabin Quilts - Looking for a quilt as you go queen size
 
I need to make a Log Cabin Quilt for a family reunion in July. Wanted to try a quilt as you go method but can't seem to find anything larger than a baby quilt and nothing with a Log Cabin pattern. Any ideas?

I’m confused, I thought you sewed the backing to it too, for a quilt as you go? I guess I don’t really understand what it is...

Sla, If you like the pattern you referred to you could always just add more blocks or make the blocks larger either by using wider strips or increasing the number to strips you add around the center. I always found the most time consuming part of QAYG is the joining the completed blocks.

Yes, generally the backing is applied at the same time.

This person claims to be doing QAYG, but it is actually more like foundation piecing with the batting as the foundation, and some additional stitching through just the top and batting. Later on in the comments she says that she will sew the blocks together, add backing, and quilt in the ditch.

There are all kinds of QAYG. You could do it with backing also but then
you would have to use sashing front and back to sew the blocks together.

I'm not sure I would call it foundation piecing. It's a different type of QAYG.
You do the quilting first then add the backing. A method I haven't tried yet.
Jera Brandvig wrote a book on this method.
