I know most people really like this block/pattern. I have been working on this one for what seems like months. I don't think I'll ever do another one. I think the quilt will be stunning (at least I hope so!) when it's done but all that trimming is NUTS! I'm only using 2 fabrics - well 3 if you count the center piece but all the logs are the same 2 fabrics; a light side and a dark side. This will be for a friend's son for his HS graduation in June. It will be a barn raising layout. I finally managed to figure out 'strip piecing' as much as it can be but even that was terribly tedious. There's only
48 blocks but they are 12.5" blocks. You would think I could have had that done in a few days or couple of weeks at best. Noooooo. But at least now I can start working on the layout. In my spare time when I'm not travelling or getting ready to travel!- posted
