Welcome to the Quilting Board!

That was a good site to explore
Thanks, craftybear. I have used this theory but only on borders. So, why not on short strips too. Makes sense.
She makes a very, very good case for cutting lengthwise.
Great information. Thank you!
That makes perfect sense to me. Thanks, Karen.
thank you crafty for the info
I mainly do log cabin variations and I always cut my strips on the lengthwise grain. It makes for much more stable blocks when it comes to joining and layering. I think perhaps it's a hang-over from my dressmaking days, but it works!
Thank you for the site and the tips.
Thanks for the link.
