I am making a log cabin now from 2" flannel strips - all dark woodsie masculine solids (navy, brown, maroon, forest green, gray, etc.)and prints for my youngest grandson (age 2). I want it to look like it was from a real "log cabin" in the woods years ago. My plan is that it will grow with him, since it is not made with children's prints, and hope he takes it to college with him someday!
