I like this pattern, its not made in the usual log cabin way, but ends up looking like it. This is done in a barn raising arrangement....its from this pattern

http://www.angelfire.com/va3/jclane/FauxLogCabin/FauxLogCabin.html

This was made using all fabrics from my stash..I wanted a big bold all prints and no blenders type quilt and I actually really like how it turned out..


This is it folded up in my little reading nook, but it is destined for my BFF for her birthday. its a large lap quilt size, mostly quilted in the ditch as my little machine doesn't like large quilts!

(with an elmo cushion made from an old tee)

I even used up a couple of the left over blocks for the back.

it is a great design, much faster to make up than usual log cabin quilts and because you don't need a foundation square to piece it on, it saves some fabric.

Very nice work!  I love how you used your extra blocks on the back.  Gives the quilt that little extra "surprise" factor!
