Little Loony Logs

When Julie K announced a new round of Log Cabin Loonies, I was all excited.  I'd played along last time and enjoyed making stacks of little log cabin blocks.

"Woohoo!" I thought.  "I'll just pull out those blocks and start up again!"

But I searched high and low for them with no results.

Huh.

I was convinced that I'd put them in such a safe place that they had vanished altogether, until Cathy had a good thought - she asked me if I'd used them in my Gwennie Medallion quilt.  I do believe she's right!

Which gives me a perfect excuse to start over with a new project, right?  Because technically it's not a new project at all, being a continuation of an old project.  (These technicalities are so useful.)

I located the bin of 1" strips that were leftover from some other adventure (maybe Long Time Gone's pineapples?) and got right to work.



Little by little, these little loonies are growing.

Linking my little loony logs to JulieK's party - come see all the cabiny fun!

Your blocks are so pretty...love your scraps! Why are other people's scraps more fun that my scraps, LOL!!!?

Cathy said...

Technically, I think everyone should have a loony bin.

Oooh these look like they are so pretty--Great that you had 1" strips already cut...hugs,Julierose

Yes, I like your scraps better too. But then, I am using up the stuff I don't like...as Bonnie Hunter says if you don't like it, cut it smaller...so I'm using stuff that looks good at 1 inch. Unfortunately at that point they're all solids.

Oh! my friend, I fear for you. Are you demented AND loony? lol. I love making log cabin too, but I have to "behave" and finish a few things. Sigh! I'll watch your cabins take shape instead. ;^)

We are all a little loonie... losing blocks and projects, and then finding them again!

I had to laugh when you found you had already used your lost blocks--the new ones are so cute!

How does that happen, that we could actually forget what we did with some blocks? hehe I've been there, done that too. Love seeing these sweet blocks come together!

Kate said...

What a great way to use up those 1" left overs. Very cute little cabins.
