I have made several LC quilts and love EB's method. The directions are also found in Alex Anderson's Start Quilting book, which I use when I teach my Learn to Quilt series every quarter at my LQS. One trick that I teach all the new students was briefly mentioned earlier in this thread....cut you last 2 outside strips 1/2" wider than all your other pieces (i.e.. one last strip which goes horizontally and one last one going vertically). So if all your strips so far have been 2 1/2" wide, cut these at 3". This way, once you've starched and pressed, you will have some "wiggle room" in squaring up your blocks. Many new quilters find their blocks coming out a bit too small because there are so many seams in a LC block. Good luck!
