Log Cabin Update

I have finished a dozen more little log cabin blocks this week. 
12 little log cabin blocks finished this week
I did some organizing of my strips, making them into piles of 6 and pinning them so I can chop off a stack of pieces in the length I need for the next round in the blocks and that has sped up the process a bit. I have not been cutting the logs exactly to length as I go along but have sewed the pieces on and then cut off the excess from each block with shears before I finger press the piece toward the outside. This has worked fine as my blocks have come out the size they are supposed to and it saved me a lot of advance cutting which I find really tedious. I haven't decided yet what I am going to do with these blocks (or, therefor how many I need to make) but plan to try out different arrangements for each progress picture and see what appeals to me as a setting.

I am linking up this week with Log Cabin Loonies and Oh Scrap! I am going to try to do log cabin updates on Thursdays, but didn't get on track for that this week.
