Cjomomma, you should see some of the blocks I've been attempting for the friendship swap. 1 I have taken apart 3 times and the 2nd I have taken apart 4 times.sometimes I think I should just stick to applique. I love the colors you are using.

That said...when I make the log cabin block half the block is "lights" and the other half "darks". You are alternating your lights and darks on all sides so you have created a new block in my opinion....

Do a search for "log cabin block images" and you will see what I'm trying to describe. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Everyone can see it because you brought it up and we all LOOKED. Your two blocks may not be 100% correct but I think they're interesting and pretty, and I'd probably just go ahead and do the rest the same way. You just did some creative quilting.
