    I cut strips to length and square up after each round. I get a truer block this way

    I prefer Judy Martin's log cabin methods. I have learned so much from her books.

    I prefer the paper piecing method. It keeps everything in line and straight. I have not been quilting all that long and paper piecing has me really spoiled now. I love it!
