Anywho! I started with some tulip blocks. I believe it was very popular in the 50s (time when my MIL got married) in my area.
Then I did some colourful log cabin blocks with the Full Moon Log Cabin Lunatics at Julie's place.
And then, this happened:
I did say in my last post that you would need to wait til the next full moon to see what I was up to ... but I couldn't wait that long. Hahaha!
Next week, it will pay a visit to my MIL to see how much bigger it needs to be, or maybe she will like it at this size! We'll see. It is 18 X 36 inches.
Now that this project is out of my head, I can concentrate again on the 365 Challenge blocks.
But first, I have to go see some blogs. Hope you will take a few minutes to check them out too.
I'll be at Angie's A Quilting Reader's Garden for WIPs be Gone
I'll see Angela's at SoScrappy for RSC (might not be very much of a hot pink, but pink nonetheless)
I'll hang around Sarah's place for Can I get a Whoop Whoop? at Confessions of a Fabric Addict
I'll visit Cynthia at Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap! on Sunday.
Until next time ...
;^)

I never would have thought of combining those blocks! What a terrific runner that is! Well done, you!
Tulips and log cabins: it couldn't be better. I think I might copy your idea for my husband's uncle and aunt who emigrated to Ontario from The Netherlands sixty-two years ago!
Oh, wow! What a great combination and an awesome table runner.
Chantal, what a great idea! I am sure your MiL will love it! Thanks for revealing it to us before a whole month had gone by!
I would never think to put tulips and cabins together...but they are very pretty.
Oh! VERY cute combination!! I'm glad that you didn't make us wait any longer. Thanks for sharing!
What a brilliant idea to combine to two. The result is stunning - she will love it. Have a lovely Sunday. xx
The tulips and the log cabins are amazing together!
I love the layout you created. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
What a great combo - love it, and I'm sure your MIL will, too. Thanks for sharing and linking to WIPs Be Gone.
These blocks look wonderful combined together! Were you tempted to just keep going and make it bigger?
I really like what happened :)
Oh, that is adorable! They could have snuggled up with each other all night, and I would never have thought to marry them that way!
What a great combination! Both blocks are traditional for that time and they are perfect for a table runner. You will have a happy MIL for sure.
This turned out to be so pretty! What a great combination of blocks. I am sure she loves it.
