Calling all log cabin lovers... do you see any reason this won't work?

When I constructed the watercolor floral log cabin, I kept wishing the block ended with a floral, rather than a light. So I drew it out, made four to play with (when one doesn't have EQ6 one must use graph paper and crayons :lol: ), and am thinking it ought to work. There are 15 pieces vs. 17. I measured it at every square along the way--and it's fine.
But will I like it as much?
Your thoughts?
The original.

Do you think it'll make a big difference in the end?

Hey--thanks! I knew you'd all give me good replies... like the one center square observation. I never thought of that. I had to cut one light strip at 1.5" for the original... the rest are 1" cuts. Mine seems more traditional I guess. And since no measurements have changed I can use all that's leftover from the last one (or I wouldn't change!).
I think I'll like the next floral log cabin better than the first one! :D

I'm a graph paper person, too.
I (sometimes) get inspired on how to put it together when I'm drawing things.
Don't know why it wouldn't work.
Does it matter if the first piece added to the square is a neutral or a floral?

(As a teacher, do you like the "why" asking students - or do you sometimes wish they'd just sit and hush?"
