Dunster, that looks neat! I especially like how you have the fish shape in some of the arrangements. Wouldn't it look cool with different blues in the background and orange goldfish sprinkled about?

Very interesting. I played around just a little bit in EQ7 using log cabin blocks with different widths on each side and came up with this. The design can be improved by changing the coloring and orientation of that one block. (They're the same blocks that Barnbum uses in her floral log cabins.)

Its a log cabin with the lights and darks of different widths. For instance, if you made the lights in a block about finished 1 inch wide, and the darks 1/2 inch wide (finished)... they form a curve in the block. Some of the blocks reverse that *wide/narrow & dark/light* assembly. Look close LOL.
Whether the small square in the center starts out light or dark also changes. ummmm you would need a design board and careful attention..... You could vary the # of rounds in each block, and colors of your choice, its still a log cabin.... Good Luck

I found one in Colorful,Casual,Confy Quilt book, Tessellating Sea Horses--pg.134; looks like Sea Horses and if you take the pattern and just move the block a little you may get the design in your picture. Hope this helps. It is by Donna Radner. Hope this helps. Have fun!

LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

It has a lot to do with the width of the "logs" in each block but I'd have a dickens of a time figuring out each one on this. Please post more info if you find it.
Then again, it looks a bit like each block is a "mini bargello" and the block that butts up to it is coordinated to create the flow of color. Just a guess.
