    Melissa, you did see a charm quilt here. Its the one that I'm doing with the 800 triangles. Thats a charm quilt.

    I have a Log Cabin one that has different ways as well and it really is simple. I've never seen a Log Cabin that is hard to do, although they look that when when you see the patterns. Mine is called Creating Curves with Log Cabins. Its all in the layout!!
