I printed the Log Cabin pattern from a website. The square in the print-out was 7" so I thought all I had to do was cut & sew. I was suppose to have a 7" finished square and it's only 4 x 4 1/2". I measured everything correctly, I thought.
Even though it's small and looks a bit rough, I think I like. My 'first born' took me a couple of hours and the strips were already cut!. :roll:
Any idea what I did wrong.

I thought 1/4" seam was already included before I cut. I guess I'm not good w/instructions either.

i think you did a very admirable job on your first attempt. how big a piece did you want to end up with? not per block, but the whole quilt? lap size? bed size? that may determine whether or not you should just cut more strips and add to what you've got already. keep going and post more photos as your skills get better. we're impressed!
