so if I am using strips to make a log cabin, would I sew them onto a light muslin also, or just sew them together???
Shayarene, most log cabins are strip quilts and do not need to be sewn onto a foundation. I have made 2 and just pieced them like regular quilts, my log strips were 2" or 2 1/2" wide. However, if your "log strips" are very long and thin (1" wide or less) and you are making large blocks, a foundation can't hurt.
