I hope this helps. Ultimately, a quilt is your unique design and since it is yours it is never done "wrong".
How many squares across and down is your log cabin? I don't know how I could rearrange my squares. . . it's only 3x4. Also, what size strips did you start with? I guess I could make it bigger, tho. Thanks for the picture. It's beautiful.
