There are several ways to build a log cabin block, so you should take a look at the way you plan to construct and color yours. Typically, a log cabin block has two strips of each length, a light one and a dark one. The exception is the last strip, and sometimes the very central ones. If you're making a scrappy log cabin, the AccuQuilt die will definitely work out for you. If you're making one with very deliberate color choices, it may not work out.
