    Sherri - Not only do I love your fabrics, but this tutorial on the mini 4” log cabin block is sweet! I wish I had the quilt shown on your table today, anywhere in my home! Thanks for the warm fuzzies on this cold, cold day in North Texas.

    I made a wall hanging with all my red white and blue scraps from previous quilts using the 4” log cabin ruler. It was really fun to sew different size pieces to each round and then use the tool for a perfect 4 1/2” unfinished block.

    Thanks for this video. They're super cute blocks! There may be some waste as others have mentioned, however, I feel if the blocks come out perfect and your quilt works out well, it's worth it especially if it's a smaller project, then it's not so much waste over all. I know you and Chelsi both have other videos and patterns showing/explaining other ways of making log cabin quilts without the ruler for those who may want to try that method with less waste which is a valid point for some. I haven't made this block yet, but I have the rulers and very excited to make a Log Cabin Quilt! -Robin Voak, Magnolia, DE

    Maybe I'm not understanding this but why start out with such wide strips if you end up cutting so much off? Why wouldn't you just cut thinner strips to start with so there's not so much waste?

    I guess if you had a bunch of rectangular scraps to use up, you might consider doing the block, but otherwise I agree on the waste of fabric.

    Hi. Thank you for your tutorial. I think many ladies have the same doubt I have. It's hard to understand the reason of so much waste of fabric. Does it mean the ruler is not really a great deal? And there is a larger ruler like the pineapple as well if I'm not mistaken. Wouldn't be better to get the larger or you need different sizes? They are a bit pricey to have many sizes. Thanks xx

    I'd like to know where the pattern is for the tulip, log cabin, and one other block. It was in the background of the pineapple block you demonstrated. I hope it's in one place instead of having to purchase 3 separate patterns. :)

    Forget the ruler....forget the waste from trimming; buy a HoneyBun which are 1.5" strips already cut.... or cut your own 1.5" strips to make a cute mini log cabin block.

    As expensive as cotton fabric is, there is too much waste of fabric using this method. If you like crumb quilts perhaps you’ll have a box full of scraps quickly.
