honeybee_2000: I plan to use that method for a log cabin I want to make where I am doing a rainbow effect of colors and will use the same fabric for the same log in a group of blocks. The downside to this method is that you don't get much variety in how your blocks look because the same fabric will be in the same place for a number of blocks. That works for some log cabins (like the rainbow one I want to make) but not the ones where you want fabrics and colors really scattered.
