Finally did the binding today after two attempts at quilting it which I ended up by doing hidden quilting as the log cabins were enough detail I felt. Thanks for looking.

This is so cute. What size logs did you use? They look about 1 inch strips but it's hard to tell.

Yep - 1inch logs. I wanted them that small so I could use all the scraps I had but of course it was a little small really for a first attempt at foundation piecing and log cabin and I can't quite imagine doing an enitre quilt with that method. Lovely and accurate of course and I am in awe of people who manage larger quilts with this method and tiny logs.
