Log Cabin Loonies

Did you see the full moon this month?
It's lunar charm was shining brightly. 
Here in the US it's sometimes called the 
buck moon, as it's the time of the year 
when male deer begin to grow their antlers
 
or the Thunder Moon due to the increased

number of thunderstorms.

Here, it's referred to as the
time to check in with Julie and 
the rest of her Log Cabin Loonies.   

I have been working on my 
Strawberry and Chocolate quilt.


 I played with several different arrangements
using the 16 blocks and finally settled on this one.

  
It seemed kind of magical to have pulled 
all the strips out of this bin.

 

Who would have realized 
that this quilt was in there, so to speak.
It was just waiting for me to pull out the right
strips and sew them together! 

Is that due to some 
 mystical lunar influence?

We'll see what happens by August 18th,
the next full moon. 
  Until Next Time-
Kyle

  2. I don't know where you find your wonderful images, but they are a hoot! I love the "Strawberries and Chocolate"! I especially love the little bits of green to add to the deliciousness.

  7. I like this color combination! When I was making some pink and brown blocks a few months ago for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge I started to think about those sugar wafer cookies that come in a pack with strawberry, chocolate and vanilla.

  8. Was the bin filled with random strips or did you cut to fill the bin. I so like pink and brown together and especially in a log cabin quilt.

  17. Loving your strawberries and chocolate! Perfect little center chimney square with the fussy cutting too. Oh that full moon - it had a huge impact on the extreme tides in Homer this week / made for a "ride 'em cowboy" boat trip across the wind whipped Bay - good thing I don't get sea sick...

  23. YUM! What a perfect name for that gorgeous quilt Kyle! In your 2nd photo, because of the way you cut the fabric, it looks like there is a zipper in the middle of one of your logs! LOL I love this classic setting you used - GREAT! Where I live, the July full moon always means Antelope by Moonlight - a nighttime bike ride my hubby has been involved with for 23 years now. It begins at 10 PM on Antelope Island - which is in the middle of the Great Salt Lake - quite an event! (there is a paved road out to the island, in case you were wondering!)
