I am new to QB. I have seen the picture of your besutiful quilt. Its gorgeous. I was wondering what size your blocks turned out to be? I started one block at 2 1/2" sq with the same for the log strips. The block ended up at 13 1/2".
Would this be too large for a King layout of this pattern does anyone think? Does anyone know if there is a pattern for this quilt layout?

The log cabin is one of my favorite quilts. You have done a beautiful job on this lay out. Love it.

Gorgeous quilt. I especially love the setting of the blocks that you arranged. Either quilting pattern would look nice.

What a surprise to see this pop up after 6-7 years. As I recall the strips were 2.5”. You don’t really need a pattern for the layout. Just play with your blocks until you find what you like. You can Google log cabin patterns and see many different designs. I played around with a lot before I settled on this one. I’ll have to see if I can find a picture of it after it was quilted. It’s been on my son and daughter-in-law’s bed since their wedding.

great placement of all the log cabin blocks to create a design. I would go with an overall design using a pantograph. When I had made a quilt top for my son at Tulane U in NOLA, I asked my quilter to use a pantograph using the Fleur-de-lys to represent NOLA. Do you have an underlying theme for this quilt? if so, maybe your quilter has a pantograph to accompany your theme.
