I never have, and there are some forms of log cabin that it is nearly impossible to do it (diamond log cabin comes to mind) ... however!
I have read all the reasons to cut the correct lengths before starting, and I am beginning to think that those who propose it are correct!
Get yourself some clip clothespins (if you are very young <g> you may never have seen one, but we will help you! LOL)
Anyway, with a sharpie, you can mark the sizes of strips you need to cut, do some math to know how many to cut to that length, and then just put the correct strip in the correct clothespin - - with chainpiecing, you will be on a good path <wave>
