I have cut out all of my strips. They are each 2 inches wide.
I used the Log Cabin ruler designed by Marti Michell to do this. I don’t
enjoy cutting out fabric at all so the ruler made a bad job slightly
less tortuous.
Previously I cut out some test strips just to see what it
would look like. I used the yellow fabric on the dark side of the block as the
outer strips but when I sewed it up I wasn’t happy with it. The colour wasn’t
dark enough; it’s more of a medium tone. Here’s what it looks like:
It looks huge in that photo but is actually approximately 13 by 13 inches.
This time instead of cutting yellow strips I cut the dark
blue that I put to one side to use as a border round all the log cabin blocks.
I like that much better. I’ll post a pic of it later.
