I have watched a lot of videos and there are so many methods. Finding ones with doing it with sashing are pretty easy to find, and I really liked Leah Day's method for that and she is the one I followed for the Quilt as You Go with Sashing. Putting the blocks together - step 9 I actually ordered I believe her step 9 for the written instructions.

For the Quilt as you Go without sashing, I finally found one that I liked and it worked well for me. It was Carolyn Forster that won me over on her method. I found a very, very short demo video of hers, which just perked my interest in her QAYG method, (unfortunately it was very short and didn't show much) Here is that video: Quilting on the Go Tip . I was able to find her book that all the instructions in it. I really liked that, as I could refer to her book as needed. This is the book Quilt As You Go: a practical guide to 14 inspiring techniques & projects

Thank you for sharing.

I actually used Eleanor Burns log cabin ruler for cutting the logs. It made quick work of all the cutting! I also have her book as well: Eleanor Burns This is the ruler I used: Quilt in a Day Original Log Cabin Ruler

I was nervous about getting all the logs cut right and this ruler made it so easy.

Great job. It reminds me of my first quilt which was a log cabin. I love the traditional blocks

A must do on every quilter's list in one form or another. A basic and an exercise in accurate cutting, color selection and placement. You GOT IT! Well done and a lovely result.
