Wow Karla...that turned out even prettier than I imagined and I always thought it would be darned good! I like you layout...it is like walking through a beautiful garden!

I like the back too...good job when you can show that!

I think you are right about the border...I would add a solid first though.

A solid border first is a good suggestion.

I forget to tell you that I really like the layout you used.

That is beautiful. I love scrappy log cabins (as you can see from my latest post) and I love the idea of using all florals. How do you plan to quilt it?

I don't think I've ever seen a log cabin with different width strips before. It works out beautifully, but I have to ask - is there a specific reason for doing it that way? I love your setting too.

That, sandpat, is exactly what I wanted!! Thanks!!

I laid out so many options--but finally picked this one. I added an extra row on all sides--so that was tricky.

dunster--the different widths make the wavy look. :wink:
Here's another I did of the same square.

I like the middle fabric the best...could be because of all the leaves....Hey they is a green grass fabric that would look good ..

I LOVE it and I am sure you will pick the perfect border :D
