Scrappy Saturday - Log Cabin Loonies
It has been a while since I worked on my Rainbow Log Cabin Loony project and this week I decided to add a purple block. The block is made from 1" strips and is made by joining 4 log cabin blocks. There are 52 pieces in this 8" block.
This project has been in progress for about 2 years and was inspired by Julie's Log Cabin Loonies group. Her block cutting instructions are still posted here. It is time consuming to cut out all the little pieces, but then it is really fun sewing them together. (The pieces on the left of the photo are squares that will be sewn into waffle blocks).
The new purple block joins the other 9 here on the design wall. I like the zigzag effect of this layout. It still needs a few more blocks added... maybe pink, brown, grey? Maybe I'll have to also make some half blocks for the outside edges if I use this layout?

Wow, I have never seen a log cabin like this, with distinct colors in each set of four blocks - I absolutely love it!
OH yahoo! Another lunatic...love your blocks, Kathy!!!
That looks amazing already.
An amazing block, both the purple and the background.
I really like the layout you've chosen. Congrats on getting your PURPLE blocks done for August's RSC, Kathy! Enjoy your Waffles, too.
I love this - I know you have shown it before I saw another from someone else once that is not doing it for RSC - it is a beautiful block - 1" strips huh - tiny!
Your Log cabin Loonies are looking great. I love the way you have set them out.
Teeny tiny bits of fabric sure do make some stunning blocks and quilts. Love how you laid these out.
I really like what you are doing with this for rsc
Great addition to the rainbow blocks, I love purple 😉
Such pretty and rich deep purples. They look great!
Those are such great blocks! I love the shape that forms when four log cabins are sewn together.
I do small log cabins for my leaders and enders....you've inspired me with your layout, thanks
Fabulous blocks and the alternating block layout is exactly perfect!
Your log cabin blocks really knock me out! Such great colors. The layout is terrific too. This will be a beautiful quilt.
Such gorgeous log cabin loonies! It will be a stunning quilt!
I love this. I'm surprised you have let it linger for so long. I'd want to finish it, if I was crazy enough to work with such tiny pieces.

Hmm, you have me thinking about my overflowing string baskets. think most of them are 1" strips.....Your blocks are stunning and I love the layout.
Love your log cabins! I definitely vote for pink, and another lighter color. Maybe a lavender instead of deeper purple?
I just looked and looked at all the fabrics... cool words, and black and whites. They are so vibrant!
ANOTHER BEAUTY!!!!!
Beautiful!
One inch strips and 52 pieces you say! Not for me, it would send me bonkers. But your blocks look fabulous together, as does all your lovely work.
Your blocks look great. It would make a grear RSC quilt.
Your piecing is so precise! Mine would be super wonky, and not in a good way :)
Nice blocks!
