Here's something that might help you:

I've tried using random length strips and cutting after attaching each log, and I've tried precutting the logs to the right sizes. I think my precut log blocks came out a little straighter, but it took a lot more time (for me) to cut up all those logs. But then again, I was going scrappy and I didn't want any duplicate fabrics so I had to make sure I had enough of each fabric in each log size, if that makes sense, and that was time consuming!

......and the Googler (good word, eh? ) gets to find just what they want and not what others think they might.

I just finished using the one that wilferg suggested by Fons and Porter and I think it is the best there is. Enables a person to make the size they wish and the diagrams for the different placements of the blocks are so good. Nice easy block, just took me a long time to get all the pieces cut....then it was a breeze.
