I love it and will definitely do one for my fireplace mantle. My livingroom colours are cranberry, hunter green and gold so it is a challenge making something that doesn't shout "CHRISTMAS"! But that is really nice. Like a few others have mentioned... I don't think I'll go through the trouble of making the log cabin blocks for the part that I want to lie flat so my decorative items don't wobble... I think I'll just use a plain piece of green or red and back it but not layer it with batting.
Here's a mantle scarf I did for spring:
