Wonky Log Cabin
45 x 54
It's a flimsy!
Made with shorter strings it is string quilt top #5 to come out of my big box of strings.
I used three inch red squares for the centers. Why? Because I had those pieces left over from making the Crossed String Top still on my cutting mat so it seemed to be a good idea to use them up. I almost had enough but had to dig a red solid scrap out of the box of red scraps so I'd have 30 squares.
I decided to make 9 inch blocks with half in light strings and the other half bright/dark strings. Then I used the Fields and Furrows layout.

Five flimsies already out if that box of strings. It must have been a huge box!! Great Log cabin. What’s next?
Just lovely streak of lightning setting on this one...nice work hugs, Julierose
I love Log Cabin blocks/quilts, yours is a beauty.
And I would call that set in fields and furrows, yes.
I also saw your previous post with your Value tops, so much fun!
Log Cabins are a perennial favorite. Lowe your random strings.
Log Cabin blocks are so versatile. SEW many settings and your string-y version is a beauty!!
I always loved log cabins and I need to make another one for myself. I could never do a wonky one though, as it would bother me too much that the strips and blocks weren't even. I do like the look of them though.
One of my favorites - and you do it SO well!
Love this! The log cabin blocks always look better a little bit wonky.:)
