Oh my! I hope you didn't think the whole log cabin is 1/2 inch..........they are 1/2 inch strips after seam, so start out at 1 inch wide by 1 and 1/2 inch long and then longer ones. Still the smallest pieces were giving me fits and there were so many places the cabins meet point to point. I am new to quilting (this is my third quilt (second full size) so I may not have described too well.Yes, the wax makes the iron glide nicely; as other posters noted many people have done this for years and also used on sleds and slides to make them go faster. Thanks for reading and reply!
