You get much better definition with 1.5" strips. I have made quilts with strips between 1" cut and 2.5" cut and I far and away prefer the 1.5" strips -- you get good definition and don't go nuts with piecing forever like you do when you use the 1" cut (my twin quilt with 1" cut strips became a table topper -- I got bored )

Hi All, Thank you all for your answers. I decided to try one with the 1.5" strips..Ive decided to use these directions, http://www.quilt.com/Blocks/LogCabin/LogCabin.html And I made one today. I thought a log cabin would be fast easy.. geesh I got turned around and had to frog stitch a few times. but finally its done. I had to trim it to 12.5" but it turned out ok....Ive added a pic of the block but I am never sure if it will show up or not. I just wanted to thank you all for all the helpfull info.
Happy Quilting

Beautiful Pat. I have myself be researching about the log cabin and I like the look of the narrow strips. I am just finishing up the quilting on a Irish Double Chain, but my next project is going to be a Log Cabin Broken Star. Be sure to show us when done casue it looks like it will be wonderful.
