You've given me some great ideas on placement. Now to just decide! :roll:
Thanks for any and all advice you can give me.
Oh, boy... Well, mine is a full-size (with borders not shown in these pictures) and the blocks finish at 7 inches- it works out to 96 blocks (12 blocks x 8 blocks), plus the borders. I made the "logs" of my blocks finish at 1" wide, so there are 13 strips within each block. The nice thing about log cabins, though, is that you can do whatever you want. Log cabin strips can be made any width you like. I'd originally planned to make my blocks bigger (with more strips) than I did but I liked them the way they were so stopped adding. Have fun with it! :)
