I have made a log cabin quilt before using Eleanor's strip method and nothing I ever do is less than a struggle but when I saw Dunster's little containers with all the lengths in them, it brought a question to my mind. Which do you find easier. The strip method or cutting out the sizes? I hope I asked that in the right way so you don't think I'm a nut lol Thanks, Wendy

IMHO strip method.

Cutting out method. IMO, it's easier to keep the block exactly square and the same size as the next one.

I love making Log Cabins. I cut the strips to proper lengths and then I make blocks. I don't like to sew and trim, even if done in chain piecing. Everyone does it the way they like best. Try a little of both methods and you will soon see which you like best. Happy piecing!

I cut the pieces to the correct sizes first. I like the built-in accuracy at each step. The blocks are all very close to the same size and there is very little trimming.

I vote for squaring up after sewing strips.

Strip method cause I can chain sew.
