bet i mess up the layout if i try to duplicate yours LOL

thanks for showing this

The quilt is about 65" square. Do you mean are the fabrics identical in each block? no, I used alot of different fabrics. If you mean did I make each one the same way? yes, I did.

Can I make a suggestion? When making a log cabin, don't cut your strips before you sew them on. Sew them on and then cut. Saves lots of time. The only ones I cut before are the center pieces.

Yes, you can do it that way, but you must use your rotary cutter and ruler to get very straight cuts or your block can end up wonky.

Thanks so much for the tut when you posted a pic of your quilt I looked and wanted to do one, but thought oh that is way to hard for me. I have only made a couple rag quilts and a couple strip quilts But now I feel like I can make this quilt if I can manage to cut straight lol

It looks harder than it is! And if you don't think you can do the brick walk border, you could just do a fabric strip border. Keep us posted!
