I'm in the same boat, but a little different----I have saved cut 1 1/2" strips for years. prefer logs already cut to size.
but when you start on a whole box of them, have to decide which size you cut out of each, etc it becomes one large headache. so I am going to use the Eleanor Burns method & check each block carefully & square up as I go. I probably have enough strips for 4 quilts ! but I have never seen an ugly log cabin.
