I thank EVERYONE for their input. I'm going to try four practice squares and trim it and see what happens. If it works out then I'll just trim them all.
I really do like the one I picked out to start with!
I used EQ7. It was expensive, but I have a lot of fun with it, and it does save fabric on failed tests. I'm not very good with it yet; for example, I would have liked to remove the black lines between the blocks, but don't know how. You strike me as the type of person that would enjoy EQ7, if you felt like investing in it. You should check it out.
Your new test block looks good! I saw a picture of a quilt from the Japanese International Quilt Festival that was all log cabin blocks. Some used 1" (1/2" finished) strips, and some used 3/4" and 1.25" strips (1/4" and 3/4" finished) for curved cabins. You could try something like that with your trimmed strips, if you were willing to cut a bunch more even skinnier!
