First, my apology if this has already been posted...I haven't read all the postings.
That said...when I make the log cabin block half the block is "lights" and the other half "darks". You are alternating your lights and darks on all sides so you have created a new block in my opinion....

Do a search for "log cabin block images" and you will see what I'm trying to describe. :thumbup: :thumbup:
