I purchased a Creative Grid log cabin ruler but I have not used it to make actual blocks...just the ones we practiced on in class but they finished up nicely in the class I took.

I cut my logs the correct size. Also sometimes I Foundation piece my log cabins, especially if I'm using really skinny logs.

Thanks for that video. It leaves other how to videos in the stone age. Marcia

I never made one, planning to do one soon, received the accuquilt die for log cabin as a gift, wonder how that will work. I wonder what the process will entail, directions are sketchy.

All fantastic tips, I am thinking of doing a scrappy log cabin for a friend, but I've been feeling quite intimidated by it for some reason.

I use Eleanor Burns method. (Quilt In A Day). My very first quilt was as log cabin. Turned out fine!

I have made one log cabin. I took a class and we used the Eleanor Burns method of strips. No squaring off. We were all dubious. The instructor said "trust the process" and we did and all of our quilts turned out fine. I would do that again.

I like freezer-paper piecing. You sew along the paper edge and not through it so there is no paper to remove. The paper patterns can be removed and used several times. Here is the video that I learned from:

If I had to make one, I would use an Eleanor Burns pattern. She writes in a manner I can follow.... I did try one once, not gonna try again without her pattern.
