I have never made a log cabin quilt, but everytime I see pics of the Floral Log Cabin they just amaze me!
I have googled, ans searched, but never come up with a pattern. Can anyone help me to find a pattern for these beauties?
Thanks So Much.

I may be wrong (and often am!) but I don't think there is a special pattern for the floral log cabin, it is more of fabric choice and placement using a traditional log cabin block. If you study the pictures, you can see where the colorful floral fabrics are placed vs. the more muted leafy or neutral ones.

The ones that I have seen on here lately are not the "normal" log cabin -- they look to me to be different size strips - the floral one width and the background another. I think there is one on quilterscache but don't remember the name.

It's not the block pattern that makes it a watercolor log cabin..it's the fabric selection. Find a picture of one you like and just place similar fabrics in the same places. Not as hard as you think.

Here's a tutorial for the uneven version of the block

And to highlight the florals, I'd guess the whites (pales) would have to be smaller to give the florals more "air time".
