I am taking a quilting class we are using elenor burns quilt in a day log cabin book all i can say is i love this method after cutting the strips( the longest part) we made one block and then our instructor showed us how to strip piece the blocks i will have 20 blocks done in no time! I love this way so much i bought the shape and cut like elenor uses on her shows to make cutting stips so much faster cant wait to make more. I highly recommend this book.
