The Story: “Leo the Lion” began as a practice piece. I had acquired some charm squares and decided I wanted to make the “Crazy 8” block with them. Once I had sewn the blocks together, I found it to be boring and decided that this could be enhanced with some applique. But what to applique? Then it hit me: “Crazy 8” -> 8th month of the year (August) -> Zodiac sign is Leo the Lion.
