Does the typical log cabin use 1.5" strips, 2" strips" or bigger?

What are you all using and what is typical?
I want to make a scrappy log cabin, but was wondering what people use. I've looked up log cabin here on the board and seen many people talk about them, but not so many give the width of the strips that they are using.
What size have you used?

A 2" strip finishing at 1 1/2" is my width of choice. I just finished one for a gift-her choice of pattern-that has finished strips of 2" and it seems too wide to me. The size you make them is personal preference and I don't know that there is a "standard" size.

Thanks for the help! I appreciate it. I was thinking of using 1.5" (starting size) strips to make one but wondered if it would be too narrow for a bed sized quilt. I do tend to like both thinner and wider, but wondered if there was a standard...
