Quarter Log Cabins

 I was gifted a layer cake of a collection of flowery prints.  I cut them into logs for a quarter log cabin block.  The layer cake yielded 96 blocks using 3 background units each from the stash.  I've been sewing them together the last few days.  Yesterday they were all sewn into (20) - 4 quadrant units. I have 16 blocks leftover....maybe part of a pillowcase?  When I'm making a bed size quilt, I try to assemble them into smaller segments as much as I can.


With the magic of EQ8, I imported a photo of my set and played with a few arrangements.  Here are my two favorites.  Now I can get my units assembled into a top.    Which version is your favorite?  AND if you can tell me how to get 2 photos to place side by side, that would also be very helpful.

    I like the way the blocks look set in 4's. As for the overall layout, I prefer the first one. Happy 2025!

    Can't help with the pictures except to say if you move the first pic to the left via a left choice on the dashboard. Then try loading the right one. It used to work but Blogger keeps changing everything. I have a set of log cabins similar to yours. But I think the directions call them half log cabins. I have plans to set them sometime this year. -- I listed them on a UFO Challenge. We'll see if they get done or not.
