Paper piecing is much more time consuming than strip piecing a Log Cabin Quilt. If one has used strip piecing, I don't think she would want to paper piece. It is better to square up as you go along, but can be done by the whole block like Mad Quilter or Kat Sews said. Yes, cotton stretches and that is one reason that the blocks are not square even though you have been meticulous with sewing each strip.
