For scrap Log cabins I like nothing wider than a 1.5 inch .. the colors/patterns melt into each other when the strips are smaller.

Lori, are you saying you prefer scrappy strips to be at least 1.5" (1" after sewing). I am starting a scrappy log cabin and was trying to decide if the 1.5 or 2" cut strip would work better. I'm afraid the 2.5 " cut strip will be make the 4-block square too large. Thanks.
