Another log cabin question, log or strips?
So I am making a log cabin quilt and I am using EB method of sewing in strips and cutting them apart..I have also make one before and the logs where cut to the specific size and then pieced together. I am not sure which way is better. I am not especially fond of the measuring and cutting apart after piecing on the strip. I also remember having to square off after each pieced log.
So what is your favorite way and why.

I have only completed one and I used the creative grids ruler. I am working on my second one using the creative grids curvy log cabin ruler. I am not overly excited with this process.... I may check into the EB method

I'm working on a log cabin using pre-cut pieces from Jordan Fabrics. It's the first one I've ever tried. Everything was going great until about the third log away from the center, and things didn't line up any more. Obviously my 1/4" seam isn't exactly where it should be, and the discrepancy is magnified with every log you put on. The project is stalled, because I don't know how I want to proceed. I think my next one will be with strips just so I can see if I like it better. I seem to do better if I have wiggle room.
