Thanks! The strips are 1 1/2" wide. I've never made one before but after looking at several I decided I prefer the narrower strips/logs. I have 25 blocks done and think I need 23 more. That means I passed the 1/2 way point today in our virtual quilting bee! I cut my strips lights (well, some mediums, but as long as they are lighter than the darks I think they look fine), and darks into 1 1/2" widths, but I didn't cut them to length. I just sew them on after randomly grabbing one and then cut it off when done stitching. Works for me.
