Definitely - get her Quilt in a Day Log Cabin Book. Works great!!!
Hard as I try, I cannot make a straight log cabin without paper piecing it!

My preferred method is to pre-cut the strips to the width I want, but I leave the length until after I've stitched the log on. I re-use the cutoffs on the next block.

Judy Martin's way, not Eleanor's. Pre-cut the strips. The blocks will not go wonky that way.
I have never made a log cabin quilt. Could someone please explain the Eleanor Burns way? Thanks
Craftybear posted this link to a tutorial that shows the method Eleanor Burns made famous:

Eleanor Burns has some great books on how to make log cabin quilts with this method, in various sizes. This method is fast and rewarding, and always works for me!
thanks for the link. this is the method i prefer, as well.

before you speak THINK
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
I love people who come up with such great ideas. This method may change my mind about making log cabin quilts. Thanks!

Thanks for the tutorial, now I have to try a log cabin.

I guess a lot of this is about liking foundation quilting or not. I've made log cabin quilt with foundation quilting on muslin. I cut the strips, left the long, and trimmed off the excess as I went along. I think foundation quilting is so easy and kind of mindless since all you have to do is stitch on a straight line! The next one I will try using paper and see how it goes. Removing the paper is one of those things you do while watching tv.To each their own!
