Default new holiday theme

The colors look like Christmas to me. How about re-arranging the block layout and something to go with that theme. Diane C.

I tried this arrangement -- getting rid of one column (or you could add another one too, if desired) and adding in some sashing. Then in the sashing you could FMQ some cute little sayings or put some toys & whatnot in the wider sashing -- or even just quilt a bunch of different sized circles. Babies seem to love exploring quilted circles.

This is what we ended up with. Thank you everyone for your suggestions and pictures. I have to get fabric for the border, but that will have to wait til we go to the fabric store. [ATTACH=CONFIG]554642[/ATTACH]

I like the fabric colors and agree that you should play with block arrangement.

Love this....do you have any more of the fabrics? If you do, I would consider making another two blocks to complete the bottom ones (so they look like the other blocks). If not, consider not using the bottom two. This is just my opinion. I love the colors! The babies will be very, very lucky to have such a beautiful quilt to use. Thanks for sharing!

The blocks you've made are nice, but not done like the traditional Log Cabin block, dark on 1 side and light on the other.
You could add a different block like I did in my quilt. I tried to put a photo in this message, but it fails every time.
