Each block is the same in size and design but they are all scrappy so each block is different. They do each have a red center, then half the strips on one side are light fabrics, and the other half are dark.

Yeah and how do you decide, flip a coin. They all look great.

Do you have them sewn together for us to see now? Please? and Thanks!

Oh, my word, it took forever! I got such a workout- up, down, up, down, over and over, lol.

I do have them all sewn together now, it's actually my avatar photo. I posted it in this link when I'd finished sewing it all together-- http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-134899-1.htm

Painiacs ... as noted this one, the strips are not all in the same place, as it's a scrappy. Some log cabins are matchy-matchy. What I mean by this is that fabrics are chosen, and then each block will be identical.

Fortunately we both came to the same conclusion, regarding a favorite- we both liked the layout in the third from the bottom the best, because it had a lot of movement and we liked the secondary designs. Still like a lot of the other layouts a lot, too, though! :)

I like that one, too. But it would be a hard choice. Maybe one of the other designs for you next log cabin? :)

I'm sure you and your DH are both enjoying it!

Yes, the lighting wasn't the best when I took these photos since it was late at night. :)

That was so much fun looking at the different layouts! I have to make some log cabins out of my scraps... I don't know if I could pick a layout. It is funny that some of them make it look smaller. I love the colors!

I just read your post about the finished project and I love it even more- love that little red border and the big scrappy piano- key type border.

I can't wait to see it quilted- wow, ten years. What I am saying, I have lots of UFO's that old- good for you for finishing one!

Kristin...thanks so much for sharing. My plans for the long winter ahead is to make my "first" log cabin quilt..... What size block would be the best to go with for a queen size bed?

You've given me some great ideas on placement. Now to just decide! :roll:

Thanks for any and all advice you can give me.
