I have the Marti Michel Log Cabin ruler and I have used it for almost everything except Log Cabin blocks. LOL.
I have better luck doing it Eleanor Burns style and cutting and squaring up as I go.
It's really a matter of personal perference. If you find you like to precut though it might be worth investing in the Marti Michel ruler. It does make it more difficult to screw up.
Have fun!
