I have done log cabin where all the strips were cut to size for each round the block came out so much better what is your favorite way sewing these.

Could you please post a picture of the placemat , I have wanted to make them but I can't find a pattern with the measurements. Or tell me where you found the pattern.

I always cut all pieces needed before I start sewing.

I definitely cut all my logs to size ahead of time. I find the blocks to be much more accurate and much faster to piece that way. I also square up obsessively as I go.
