I haven't made one in over a decade. PM me if you would like me to draw a log cabin quilt 2 post on the thread.

Thank you so much but that would be too much trouble for you. I was thinking an 82 x 96 with 3 darks and 3 lights. Maybe 6 across and 7 down with 2 inch strips. Something in this ballpark. I am currently doing a king scrappy and have made at least 3 trips to the LQS for more fabric. I wanted to do this one in the order of graduating from the lightest to darkest. I had several older books with the patterns in them but I always give everything away. Not complaining because I am blessed to do so. Thanks again for all the helpp

This chart might be helpful:

And this one if you decide to go with 1.5" cut strips:

Ok Joy, lets assume 82 inches wide divided by 6 block is approx 13.4 inches but we'll call it 14 inches finished for ease of calculation. This will give you a quilt 84 x 98 with 6 blocks by 7 blocks. Here are the approximations given to me by EQ7:

Please keep in mind these are only approximations but they should give you somewhere to start. You'll have to make adjustments based on exactly which log cabin pattern you are using and the size of your logs.
