Just Quilting on this Board has a great suggestion. I have made several Log Cabin quilts using Eleanor Burns' Quilt-in-a-Day book for the Log Cabin quilt and it is absolutely "fool proof," if you do as she instructs. It is so much faster having all of your strips lined up and then doing the "chain sewing." When you finish with the last strips, you have completed ALL of your blocks needed. Just keep your seams as accurate as possible. The Log Cabin pattern is beautiful and you will be pleased.
