Karla, thanks for the great ladder tip and the tip on the strip size. I have a bunch of 2 1/2 strips from a swap I was in and they have just been sitting in a box (poor things). I made a small quilt with 2 1/2 strips and was not real impressed. I am going to try smaller strips. Your quilts are wowing. I would sleep much better under the log cabin too, so when you arn't sleeping well and switch out quilts send it my way! :lol:
