I love your quilt! I have done several log cabins and I start in the center of each block, 1/4 or so in from the seam and make a squared spiral in each block. I like that look myself. Hand quilting in the ditch is sort of wasted as you can not see the stitching. You sort of make that center square, and then go out like it is pieced. I won a first place ribbon on one that I did that way!

SID means stitch in the ditch.... just right into the seam line, so the quilting shows on the back but not really on the front. It still serves to give that quilted look, though. This board is a wonderful place to learn all sorts of thing, to get new ideas! Wonderful to learn and to share. Welcome.
