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 like Judy Martin's log cabin techniques best. I also like the narrower strips, at most 1" wide finished.

Try doing just one block at a time. My first (and it was just my second ever quilt) was a log cabin. I strip pieced. I got all confused and plus I was working with 1 inch strips. 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.

I love to make log cabin blocks, great way to use up scraps.

This shows how different methods appeal to different people. I generally do about 8-12 blocks at the same time. I use Judy Martin's methods, so all my logs are pre-cut and separated by size and value. I set out the logs for the right length and value (light or dark) and sew the same log on all blocks, then go press all of them, then back to sew the next log on. To me this is much less confusing than working round and round the same block.

I tried finding information on that but can't, is it a book? Or one of Eleanor Burns? I couldn't find it on her site, very interested to know more,
thanks,

BarnBum is another poster her eon QB. You can find her via the User List above. Also, I'm sure many of her floral log cabins will be included in the photo Gallery here ... see the bottom of this page to find that.
