I don't have much luck cutting the logs the right size..my evenfeed foot on the singer is just won't let that work right..I always cut a tiny longer and trim..to keep the size right.<BR/>DEB};oFLO_rancherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04784198513961433292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-60286844071212066262009-01-02T15:19:00.000-07:002009-01-02T15:19:00.000-07:00I love log cabins so this will be interesting to f...I love log cabins so this will be interesting to follow!meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-48089801786298525962009-01-02T01:58:00.000-07:002009-01-02T01:58:00.000-07:00Wow! great quilt.

Alternately, I cut sashing strips so the grain is crosswise, because that gives you a little "leeway" when assembling blocks in case they are a smidge different.The Calico Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772374749065425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-41986774052761978982008-12-28T13:39:00.000-07:002008-12-28T13:39:00.000-07:00I think you are being a bit conservative, there ar...I think you are being a bit conservative, there are lots of seams in a log cabin.Lori in South Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065926474013911257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-38677555081125139992008-12-28T11:07:00.000-07:002008-12-28T11:07:00.000-07:00I feel I should keep track of my quilting expenses...I feel I should keep track of my quilting expenses but I'm afraid to!

I use EQ6 to estimate (although there is a 'quilt calculator' which seems complicated) and make a block the right size, color it approximately how the quilt will be, then make a quilt the right size with my block. It has a view/print fabrics, and is always a bit more than needed, but very helpful. If you don't have EQ5 or 6, there must be a place online to do this?Elsie Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739927333538419518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-32791884120717021872008-12-28T05:40:00.000-07:002008-12-28T05:40:00.000-07:00I am a big fan of Judy Martin who believes in prec...I am a big fan of <A HREF="http://www.judymartin.com/index.cfm" REL="nofollow">Judy Martin</A> who believes in precision.

It looks like you would need close to 8 yards for backing so 12 yards would be the estimate for the top. However, the more seams there are in the pattern, that will increase slightly for the top amount.Exuberantcolor/Wanda S Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064308660138307797noreply@blogger.com
