Goodness me ! I'm sure we would all love that problem,I would think, make two quilt tops with co- ordinating backs.Thats just me though,I always save lovely fabric for the front and use calico for the backs. Go have a glass of win, relax and take your time, Love Letty

i took ube's advice and got to work. the two-at-a-time nine patch method is fast, accurate and easy! after getting a few done i do wonder how old the kit was given that the colourways are pretty dated. but while i am not super thrilled most amazing quilt ever chuffed, i think it's mostly lovely!
thanks for your help

I can relate to your "holy brain kaboom", as I have them on a regular basis. However, I personally prefer using 2" strips for log cabin blocks, as 1" strips would be too small, with half the width taken up in the seam allowance. On your other matter, I'm sorry I can't help, but I do know what you're going through.

Whenever I have a "Holy Brain Kaboom", which is more often than I'd like, I generally set it aside for a day or two and come back refreshed. OR I write to my friends on The Quilting Board and shriek for help! Both will work, and a glass of wine aids the first suggestion, IMHO.
