    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.

    lace is a nice touch--the logs don't look that bad for being off-grain...
