lOG CABIN

It really depends on the person how they enjoy the process. For me I like to cut all and start sewing one block at a time and I definitely don't like chain piecing and others swear by it. Try the two ways and see what you like best.
Good luck...btw log cabin is my favorite of all block :-)

30+ years ago I learned log cabin by strip piecing; I've taught log cabin using strip piecing for nearly 25 years.
I still prefer strip piecing to precut logs because the precut takes time to meticulously match the edges and still they occasionally shift a bit, which then requires trimming any way.

I've used both methods. Each has it's pluses and minuses. I like how all your pieces are ready to sew if they're all pre-cut. It takes additional time, but I like taking baby steps. Not everything needs to be done in one day! I like chain sewing too. I like knowing what length it's supposed to be. Mine are usually a little off, but look fine in the end. I guess I've talked myself into the preference (for me) of having all my strips pre-cut. No surprises of running out of fabric that way!
