Thank you, Laura! I am so happy that you liked it! I love this super-simple piecing method too.

Ahh, I always thought you had to cut each strip of fabric to fit, instead of doing it in strips like this. Now I think I might tackle a log cabin quilt!

There are some great tutorials on cutting each one first, but I think this simple trim-the-edge way is sooo much easier (and more fun!). Thanks, I’m so glad you liked it!

Thank you for sharing this tutorial video…I am not as intimidated as I was ten minutes ago! Can’t wait to make a quilt for my grandson!

Great visual tutorial….and I just bought your book. Thank you. I have quilted for years but am newly inspired by faster methods and big stitch hand quilting! I will make a log cabin, your way, and finish it off with some “big stitch” hand quilting in perle cotton. PS I got this link from Alicia Paulsen’s blog.

This method looks so natural and relaxed! I always feel like I should be pressing my seams or carefully cutting with a straight edge & rotary cutter! I think I need to dig into my scrap fabrics this afternoon.

Thank you so much! I actually understand what I’m supposed to do!! I bought your book this weekend because I’m going to make my very first quilt as a gift for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. (cause I’m crazy…)
I just may pull this off. You’re brilliant!!
