I'm kind of embarrassed to say this but I've been quilting since 1970 and have never made a traditional log cabin quilt. Let me emphasize the "traditional" part. However, this November I am going on another four day retreat and a friend of mine and I have promised each other we are going to make log cabin quilts. We are using Judy Martin's book that has the Snake River quilt in. My goal is to have my fabrics cut before retreat so I can just sit and sew with an occasional trip to the ironing board. Got to get a modicum of exercise in.

I am making a Courthouse Steps log cabin. Bought the book, took a 3 hr class, cut out my strips exact. Got to class and teacher said we cut just cut out the fabric strips and it was ok. So I sewed the exact strips and loved them in class. Came home and cut the strips and used them, did not love them. I know I spent way more time cutting the exact strips, but they do look way better. Have no clue why. I have to vote to cut the strips the exact size.
