This project file has several variations of Log Cabin blocks which I mix up to create an ever growing collection of designs.
I would find it much more interesting to make four identical versions of block a, plus four each of two colour variations, sixteen block b, twenty block c … until you have the required number of blocks.
As an added bonus, you could try arranging the blocks differently to the original design. I issued a real challenge to make 25 assorted Log Cabin blocks to make up a small quilt, and at the time I handed out the first installment I had just one design. By the time I revealed the design i had 25 designs from the same blocks, and I missed some because some of the girls found designs I had missed.
I wonder how many designs could be found to use the blocks in the design above, or any of today’s designs?
I think I will issue myself a challenge … take one Log Cabin design with an assortment of blocks and see how many different ways I can rearrange those blocks.
If I don’t don’t appear in public for a few days, don’t report me as missing, as you will find me virtually rearranging blocks … though I should be doing some real quilting!
Just a thought. Sounds like a good challenge for others to do.
Last one for today is very interesting, though not the most attractive design around.
More Log Cabin designs mid week, next week.

I love today’s selection. It’s hard to choose a favourite. Maybe the last one. It just shows you how versatile Log Cabin is. I remember a certain challenge years ago, & I still have it.

Marie,
I looked through the possible layouts of the those challenge blocks this morning, and am still amazed at what was possible … might make it the basis of a Virtual Challenge sometime, and could also do one with applique blocks perhaps.
