RSC Challenge Sampler - Quarter Log Cabin

There are so many variation on the Log Cabin quilt block.  This one is a quarter log.  You could make a block of course, and cut it into four sections, but when you only need one, this is the way to go.
Start with a 1.5 inch square for the first round.
Round 2 needs a 1.5 inch square and a rectangle 1.5 by 2.5
Round 3 needs a rectangle 1.5 by 2.5 inches and one that is 1.5 by 3.5
Round 4 needs a rectangle that is 1.5 by 3.5 inches and one that is 1.5 by 4.5
Round 5 needs a rectangle that is 1.5 by 4.5 inches and one that is 1.5 by 5.5 inches
Round 6 needs a rectangle that is 1.5 by 5.5 inches and one that is 1.5 by 6.5 inches
Start with the two 1.5 inch squares.  press away from the corner square and then add the 2.5 inch long piece.
You will continue working in rounds by adding the short piece to the side with a seam and the long piece to the adjacent side.

Here is round 3
Working on round 4
Ready for round 5.  Keep going until all the pieces are sewn together
Here is your finished block.  I alternated solids and prints for each round and tried to go from light to dark.  Go crazy and have fun with your scraps!

Are you close to your 100 blocks yet? I hope to lay mine all out today after dropping to school and errands. I can't wait to start putting this together.
