I'm with you! Also working on my first log cabin and tedious doesn't even cover it. Don't think I'll ever do another one. It's coming along but it's definitely a fairly slow processs. Plus I've run out of one of my fabrics so I need to do a search and see where I can get that as well as calculate how much I need of my other to see if I have enough of that as well. I'm only using 2 fabrics. And I don't think I'll ever do black on black piecing ever again in my lifetime!
