Beautiful quilt. What is Greek Key Blocks; is that the border or the S shaped blocks? Never heard of them, but I am not an accomplished quilter, just a "wannabe". I also like the quilt on top of the stairs, but just got to see a little corner of it. Looked nice; would like to see it too.
Love the colors; are these batiks?

I'll see what I can do about photographing the other quilt. It's from a magazine pattern called Lady of the White House. I would like to add some more quilting to it. When I get around to doing that I will post it. Thanks for your interest.

I can see why it's your favorite log cabin. It's my favorite too. I love the colors you choose. Is the pattern in a book by Judy Martin or an individual patterns. It is just beautiful.

My quilt pattern was modified from Judy Martin's Log Cabin Quilt Book - http://www.amazon.com/Judy-Martins-C...0228539&sr=8-1

Judy Martin gives excellent advice on how to do log cabin blocks, provides a lot of ideas for settings, and has come up with some really nice designs. I really get a lot out of her books. BTW, she does use Greek keys for the border in her design.
