It's a Flimsy! Log Cabin Lunacy

Log Cabin Lunacy
64 x 80


One inch wide scraps and four inch finished blocks. 

 I'll be the first to admit some seams don't line up perfectly so if it looks a little wonky that's because it is. 
 It starts with red centers. 
 I spy candy, birds, acorns, horseshoe, cards, jellybeans, eyeballs...

 ...ghosts, hot peppers, peppermints, jack-o-lanterns, candy corn, m&ms and fireflies. 

...ants, cats, gingerbread boy, boats, rabbit in a dress, flag, cherries...

 ...footprints, trees, apples, snowmen and some memories. 
That's what I like about quilts with little pieces - you never know what you will find when you take a closer look. Geometrics, novelties, florals, stripes, polka dots, tone on tones and holiday fabrics all seem to work together. 

George always likes to take a closer look at how to get it off the clothesline and under his tush and so this story ends.

I think George is just waiting for this beauty to be layered and quilted, THEN it will be ready to sink his tush into! Yummy fabrics, let's face it I'm a sucker for any quilt with reds and oranges/golds in abundance.

Omigosh - I cannot believe you have this to flimsy stage already. It is awesome and I love it -- kudos to you and ditto on your thoughts about small scrappy pieces.

That is a whole lot of scraps used for a fabulous flimsy. I'll bet it is a bit heavy!

Gorgeous!
And it amazes me how much detail you can still see even with such narrow strips!

That's a beauty for sure.
George is a smart cat.
