Have you ever made anything using 1 1/2" strips?
#21
I am in the process of making a variation of log cabin quilt using 1-1/2" strips. No problems at all. It is called Heartstrings, Log Cabin Fever book by Evelyn Sloppy.
I have used 1" strips for sashing and had no problems, just cut strips as you would any other size strips.
Nothing to it.

I am completing a log cabin done with 1 1/4" strips....took a long time to cut them, but sewing was no more difficult than wider pieces. I found that spraying fabric with starch just prior to cutting it helped...a LOT! .

Give it a try, do one block, by the end of the quilt, the next quilt will feel huge!! This is one inch finished squares. Crazily, I did not even think of strip piecing, cut 1.5" squares, mixed hem up in a paper bag, pulled out one square at a time and TADA!!

Check out the work of Ann Brauer. She uses extremely narrow strips in a quilt-as-you-go type style all her own.
