Well, I haven't heard from anyone, so I'll start putting it together. But, I haven't had a chance to sew it together, so I can only show the EQ version.

I hope to be able to work on this in November, close to the holidays.

As you've all probably guessed, you arrange your log cabins as a border strip.

Arrange all the blocks around the center block. You're going to do a little fudging. I always do when I sew blocks together for border strips.

I sew the sides first. Sewing the 5.5" x 6.5" blocks together as shown in the diagram and then sew them to the left and right sides of the center block. The center block measures 24.5" at the moment.

You'll have extra seam allowance on the blocks that are the end of the border strip that you'll be trimming off.

The 5.5" x 5.5" log cabin blocks are your cornerstone blocks. I usually sew them on the top and bottom border strips.

You'll sew your other 5.5" x 6.5" blocks together as shown in the diagram and sew the cornerstone blocks on each end.
