I know what you mean, I'm new to quilting and read how easy a log cabin block was. So I started one, yikes all the cutting!!! Not to mention that my 1/4" seam leaves a lot to be desired!! But still, I do love the finished product. I've made them in all colors. Right now I'm working on orange ones for fall.
The cutting is really annoying for me as well. And even after all this time my seams are not perfect so there's lots of trimming along the way. I cut a bunch of strips, sew/trim for a while then repeat. Ugh!
