The second grey border again is cut 2 inches and finishes 1 1/2 inches.

I made 3 inch finished half log cabins in the Sharyn Craig style. I like this block because you have very good control about how big it will be without over-thinking "now, how many rounds?"
Instead, it grows in inch increments without worry.

I kept it monochromatic yellow, with a few oranges and greens and others thrown in so it wasn't too boring.

My intention was in this round to make it oblong, but decided to keep it square for now. Maybe next round.
At this point the quilt measures 33 by 33 inches.
