    You've given me some great ideas on placement. Now to just decide! :roll:

    Thanks for any and all advice you can give me.
    Oh, boy... Well, mine is a full-size (with borders not shown in these pictures) and the blocks finish at 7 inches- it works out to 96 blocks (12 blocks x 8 blocks), plus the borders. I made the "logs" of my blocks finish at 1" wide, so there are 13 strips within each block. The nice thing about log cabins, though, is that you can do whatever you want. Log cabin strips can be made any width you like. I'd originally planned to make my blocks bigger (with more strips) than I did but I liked them the way they were so stopped adding. Have fun with it! :)

    I have a pattern that forms a large star in the center. Some of the blocks have to be all darks and some all lights though.

    I like 6 - 7 - or 8. They look balanced.

    Well, the only solution is to make more blocks so you can make one of each!

    I love the first one. I think I may need to make a log cabin quilt now! Thanks for showing the different layouts and I'm sure you'll both enjoy the finished product!

    Oh my, when you show the layouts like this, it's so hard to decide. But my fave is the third last or the last one. Great blocks!

    So many choices, I'm with you, it's so hard to decide.
