I have made several log cabin quilts, never cut the strips to size, only WOF strips, sew then cut. Just be careful with your cuts so they are straight! If your seams are fairly close, you will be OK and it sure works up faster. I recently did one with two of the sides black and the other two bright, bright, bright. Everyone loved it!

For that matter, I would like to hear from anyone who has made ANY Log Cabin quilt, and what you have to say about your method. Do you cut your strips to size, or cut long strips and sew and cut? Thanks so much.
