Tiffany--the curvy log cabin was 1 inch light strips and 1.5 dark ones. I love that quilt. I swear I sleep better when it's on me. :D It was supposed to be circles--I'll attach a picture of it laid out that way--but I played around and liked the barn raising pattern best. One circle was enough. :wink:
The basic log cabin book I have says to cut 2.5 inch strips- :shock: -but I have never made one with them that big. Too floppy looking. My first ones were 2 inch strips--but I'll never cut them more than 1.5" now. The smaller the better I say. :wink:
