August Full Moon and Log Cabin Loonies

Full moon and time to post about log cabin blocks.  Some of us are linking together on full moon day each month to show log cabin blocks and quilts.

I have been working on more of the blocks I started for this Log Cabin Lunacy but no pics of those today.

Yesterday I did do a blog post showing quilting of what I call a picnic quilt...
There is a link on yesterday's blog post to last year June 24, 2015 blog post with photos of how I made the blocks...like log cabin blocks.

I am sharing a photo of a log cabin quilt I made last year.  It is called string bean log cabin and it is a free pattern on Craftsy by Pat Sloan.  I used some of her jelly roll fabrics plus others for this quilt.  It was a very fun quilt to make.

Linking to JulieKQuilts with the other Log Cabin Loonies........

String bean log cabin quilt finished

I started this quilt in March when Pat Sloan offered a free pattern and a challenge.
You can find the pattern on Craftsy.
I used bobbins and bits fabrics plus others.  I used my walking foot for straight and wavy lines. On my Bernina it is #4stitch and 2 width and 2 length.
I hand quilted the centers of each block using Aurifil #12 matching thread and fabric with finishing set tart and macaroon from Fat Quarter Shop online.

Farm Girl Vintage chicken foot block + other quilt projects

 I finished another FGV block to hang on the clothesline in my sewing room.....
I have a lot of quilts in progress and here are photos of SOME of them....
 I am hand quilting the center rectangles of my string bean log cabin quilt........
I hope to have this done this week............
 Gudrun of GE Designs has a facebook group and this is the start of the quilt Another Part of Me.  I am using the stripology ruler on this project.
 I made some tubes of my Bobbins and Bits fabric strips and used my strip tube ruler and cut some blocks.  This was started on a day when I just wanted to sew strips and keep the petal down!
I bought Leanne's House BOM I think in 2007 and I have finally started on it.

Lots of projects......lots of fun!!

I will link with Connie at Freemotion by the River for Linky Tuesday............

String Bean Challenge quilt

Pat Sloan gave us a challenge on her blog and a free pattern.

I have posted it on instagram, her facebook group and flickr.....

I used mostly Pat's bobbins and bits fabric but added some other fabrics too.

I haven't decided how to quilt it yet???  Any ideas?  Wondering how others are quilting theirs?
