I'm actually looking forward to doing one of these in pastel, maybe yellows, reds & oranges, maybe peaches and blues, maybe??? Yeah, ummm...I think I"m hooked! AND already have lots of extra pieces already cut, leftover ends from the strips, so can see a LOT more lob cabins in my quilting future.

Anyway, here's where I'm at as of today!

Finished grouping of four blocks:

No new rulers, just a 6" X 24" and I put a strip of blue painters tape at the 1 1/2" mark the full length of the ruler so I can just sort of drop it into place to make my cuts. It goes much quicker and easier that way!

Helen, you should at least check out the ruler. You can use strips of any width it it has lines on it to show you where to cut, or you can use scraps of any size and it will show you where to cut. I don't remember where I bought mine but I love it. It's called the Log Cabin Trim Tool Two by Omni Grid.
