Help me think!

Yeah, I need all the help I can get!

Here’s my thought.  Cutting all the strips for my log cabin quilt was very easy with the AccuQuilt.  However, being the lazy soul that I am, I’d like to make it even easier, because I can see right now I’ll be making more log cabin quilts!

I’ve send AccuQuilt a request for a custom die quote with the following diagram:

I don’t need the center 2.5 inch block, I already have one of those.  Each strip would be an individual die.  My question is, how much of a time saver do you think this would be, and how much accuracy would it add to the blocks, versus doing it the traditional way of sewing on a strip and cutting it to size? 

These would make eight inch completed blocks, just like I’m doing now.  I don’t care for the larger strip log cabin blocks.

Just for fun, I wanted to share how I’ve got all my strips sorted, keeps them neat and organized!

These are silverware bins from Walmart, made out of bamboo.  They work great!
