Iam working on my first log cabin and it is pieced and quilted at the same time. I pre cut all my scraps on the cross grain, and guess what, even with a walking foot they are stretching about a half inch on 12 or 13, SO I question the logic of precutting except for having to stop and start. The first square went REALLY fast, and its an 18 x 18 finished. The math for figuring out the strip sizes nearly finished me, but I had to do that first, or I would have been way off on my ydgs. Don't think I will ever cut another lc on the crossgrain.l :-D
