And there seems to be two camps on log cabins: those that want precision (Judy Martin, Marti Michell) and those that use the quick strip piecing method (Eleanor Burns, Mary Ellen Hopkins). For small blocks I like the precision for 12" blocks I like the strip piecing.
Another way to keep the logs straight is to cut your strips length of fabric rather than width of fabric b/c there is less stretch. Just square up after each round of logs and you will be okay.
