EB's method is usually quicker. The only time you get into problems is if you are pulling the fabric. Then it will not be the correct length and when you add just the tiniest length, by the time you have sewn in all the logs, it could be a sizable amount. If just a bit off, it is easy to trim the outside logs and have it not be noticeable. I'm always in a hurry, so strip quilting is the way I go and I just try to be careful.
