I know you don't want to hear this, but I'm going to write it anyway. I just finished doing a SITD on a log cabin quilt I'd just finished. Didn't really want to do it because each log had 21 strips of fabric. Did it anyway. Yes, it took a long time and was boring. But the results were fantastic! It made each log cabin stand out in a way that I couldn't have achieved any other way. The log cabins look almost 3-dimensional! It's an awesome look, and I've had so many positive comments that I'm glad I took the time to do it that way. So there's my opinion, for what it's worth. Feel free to ignore.
