I like small strips because the give a lot of movement to the finished piece. But I most often use 2" strips because I am usually making quilts for Project Linus, and they need a lot of quilts-- fast!
Here's a link to a great article from the Quilt Study Center on Log Cabin quilts, showing different settings and explaining a lot of why they do what they do.

I have a picture from my National Geographic magazine of a mummified alligator wrapped in the log cabin pattern and dating back over 3000 years. My Mom always said, 'Wait long enuf and what was old will be new again."
