I am wondering what is the most favored width for the strips, I have seen the most narrow 1" & up to 2"

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.

i like 2 1/2". 1" come out 1/2 which is pretty narrow with not much wiggle room

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.
