You are so organized! I buy fabric ahead of time that I think would make great binding - usually multicolored stripes - and then when I'm bored I make binding.

Great idea and so organized and prepared! I heard of this quilter once who cut ALL of her fabric into strips! She had them draped over clothes folding racks! I could not do this as I would invariably find a pattern calling for 8" squares! haha! You are NOW ready to sew a fabulous log cabin quilt! I need to try your idea sometime!

Just asking here, doesn't the log cabin block use 2 inch strips instead of 2 1/2 inch. Come to think of it you can make your strips any size. Just thinking out loud here. Have a good time sewing.
