My Quilt of Valor Group did a Log Cabin Block drive this last year . This year the National QOV block is a log cabin.... I keep telling myself - I am psychic or maybe I am just a trend setter and I don't know it??
Next trend - Flannel Jammies under the chore pants - its a REAL thing people!!
This is the one I am currently working on . and Yes, these blocks were in my Piles!!!
This last weekend we had a Polar Vortex come visit ( much like the rest of the country). We have horses, and mostly they stay outside - but when the winds blow so hard we put them in the barn. The barn is mostly a riding arena, so we have to put temporary corrals up . Which we did - 6 of them...
I rarely -and I do mean rarely - wear my glasses outside, but for some reason I did while moving horses in the barn. The weather was so cold, everything was frosting almost immediately. even my hair!!
My horse took a big breath and blew it out, right into my face - and Literally Blinded me!!!
It was frustrating and funny at the same time. She didn't know what she did, and why we stopped so abruptly.
Oh!!! and there is always some calamity when its miserable cold - We got a call from a neighbor - look west! We looked out our window and saw this:
That is smoke from a fire, and the fire truck lights looking our way - it was still a mile away, and the wind was blowing from south to north ( see the Vortex caused that!) But still not something you want to see when its dark. The guys all headed over to see if they could help - seems they had a fire in the cornfield....
no real details as to why?? but! It got put out and all was good.

I'm glad the fire was put out, fighting fires in frigid weather is so dangerous. Love the log cabin quilt, so pretty!
I love that you put a star in the middle of the QOV log cabin quilt - it looks great and I would have taken the time to puzzled over and double check orientation, too! I giggled when you said you rarely wear your glasses outside (I don't have a choice and have to) and figured I knew where that was going. Poor mare had no idea she took your vision away so effectively! And that is very scary about the fire; I'm glad it was put out quickly.
That is a gorgeous layout for the Log Cabin blocks! The star really makes it dramatic.
Beautiful log cabin in the making. . that must have been one huge pile that you encountered to make this project from that pile!
Whew, the cold sure was something! I understand about the glasses! Love, love that log cabin layout!!!
Wow that fire is a scary thing to see at night and so close! Love, love your Starry Cabin top. And yes, you must be psychic! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

You make me wish I had brought along my log cabin strips! It's gorgeous.
The star adds so much to the Log Cabin blocks. Good that the fire was put out. So scary.
.....but LOL with the blast of horse breath on your specs!
That's going to be a very nice quilt! Fire is scary. I hope they got it under control.
That's a pretty log cabin quilt. Oof on the fire - so glad it got put out. What a chilling scene to see at night!
Your log cabin star quilt is going to be wonderful. Fires when it's that cold are hard to deal with. Hope it's warmed up a bit.
