I am making a log cabin quilt that will measure between 95"- 100" square. I was wondering what size strips do most of you like to use. I have Eleanor Burns log cabin book and she give the instruction for 2 1/2 " strips. The quilter who taught me to make them has always taught to use 1 3/4" strips. I know that the thinner strips look nicer but there is more to cut and more to sew which end up with smaller squares.

I have been commissioned to make one and have never made one with the wider 2 1/2 inch strips so I don't want to spend too much time on it. I will start cutting the strips tomorrow. I would really like to see your comments on this thread.
