I started a log cabin almost a year ago but put it away as it was so frustrating. I took it out recently and figured out that it was frustrating because all the pieces were cut just a little short. Well, that "llittle short"ness is cumulative. I told myself I was wasting time trying to make them fit and tossed the whole thing in the garbage. Didn't even keep it for scrap. What would I do with a gazillion 1-1/2 strips?? I feel much better that it's no longer hanging over my head saying, "finish me, finish me".
