I've used honey buns to make rail fence blocks and log cabin, of course.

My "go to" tool is my June Tailor Shape Cut ruler, it makes it sooooooooooooooo much easier.

The local shops around here still stock/carry honey buns. I have used the 11/2" width strips many times, I like the narrow width for some projects, especially log cabins and pineapple blocks. They also come in very handy for many of the paper piece patterns I use. My (Unusual Lone Star) was all 1 1/2" strips

My avatar is a lonestar made with 1 1/2" strips of batiks. No, it wasn't easy, but it wasn't all that hard either. Bias pieces made it harder. Straight cut strips will be easier to work with.

The only issue I have with narrow strips (or small pieces), is the added number of seams and the bulk those extras seams create on the back. I try to stay away from them but when I do use a pattern with them, I tend to favor lighter-weight fabric.

I make my Log Cabin quilts from 1.5" strips, all cut to size. I find them easy to work with.

In fact, all my leftover fabric after cutting 5" squares is cut into either 2.5" strips or 1.5" strips. (large pieces go back to their original home by colour).

Just made a few Bento Box blocks, and am hooked on them ... Finish at 3 1/2" ...adorable!

I've done a bonnie Hunter string quilt with a bunch of different widths and most were about that size.....

I'm currently working on a small log cabin quilt with 1¼" strips and have used strips as narrow as ¾" in several art quilts. It helps a lot if narrow strips are cut length of fabric, not width, since there is far less stretch that way.

You can get Honey Buns that are 1 1/2" at Missouri Star Quilt company. Great fabric and good service. You can watch for a sale but they have several choices. Quick delivery and great people.
