this was the first log cabin quilt i made. I got the book by Elenor Burns "Quilt in a day". Shows this technique..instructions so clear.....each step has a picture...You can't make a mistake...except with this first quilt i learned that 1/4" means 1/4". I learned that lesson...I've made others and they came out perfect.....

I love this technique. I first learned of it many years ago from Eleanor Burns' Quilt in a Day projects. I like the fact that I can be accurate AND fast!

I used width of fabric. That said, I used the width of whatever I was using. Fat quarters, leftovers, or the full width of fabric.

If going more scrappy, I would limit the number used from each fabric.
