Cutting Log Cabin Strips - 1 of 4 - Intro to Log Cabin Rulers

Marti introduces the From Marti Michell Log Cabin Rulers. Blocks come out square and the correct size because cutting strips to the exact length is more accurate than other methods.
This video is the answer to the question, "Why would you need a special ruler for a Log Cabin quilt?"
1:44 Learn three things that will improve your Log Cabin blocks whether you use our rulers or not.
2:40 Marti explains lengthwise and crosswise grain and how to determine grainline even without a selvage.
6:45 What are the six Log Cabin strip widths available on the rulers? How are they paired to have only 3 rulers?
7:49 Intro to using both strip widths on one ruler to make Curved Log Cabin quilt blocks.
Thank you for watching.
The pattern for Rachel's Baskets, hanging in the background, is in her book Log Cabin ABCs. You can see the full quilt on our Web site at www.frommarti.com/show_LC_bskt... The fabrics are from Marti's Wild Rose line by Maywood Studio.

Hi Marti: I am a newish quilter & just am just starting to pay attention to blocks. The log cabin caught my eye recently when I watched a recent Missouri Star Quit Company video on the log cabin using precuts.Now I am doing my research to see what is out there on the internet on the log cabin & you popped right up. Your tutorial is very helpful for a newbie like me & I see your rulers coming home to roost with me soon. I am also subscribing to your channel. You are lovely & a natural in front of the camera.

Thank so much in clearing things up for me as I am a self taught quilter.
