I used the Eleanor Burn method on the ones I have done. Since then I have seen the Marti Michell method, and it looks like a good technique too ... and I think I'd check it out before I start another LC.
To me, LCs look best in the narrower strips .... max 2-1/2", but preferably narrower!!!!
(and yes, JIMHO!!!!)

I was scared to try another, but finally worked up my courage and am working on one block at a time assembly. I am enjoyong it.
