Log Cabin with cut logs
I have been looking for a pattern than that has the logs pre-cut rather than just adding the long strips. All I am finding online is the strip method. Any help from you log cabin pros? I made a LC using the strip method about 10 years ago and recall the ease at making wonky squares. Thank you.

Draw your block out on graph paper in real size. Then all you have to do is add 1/2 inch to each length and width of each strip. I agree that it is a more exact way of making the block. Also think about only finger pressing the seams until the whole block is finished. Pressing (too many of us iron) can distort the block.

Here are instructions from Quilter's Cache. LogCabinBlock.html Cut the logs exactly at the lengths suggested, no longer. It is much easier to get a perfectly shaped block this way than by using the long strip method.
