What about making a strip of actual cabin blocks (little houses). You could add a strip to the bottom and one to the top as well if you wanted to so you would have enough quilt to cover your pillows if you like making your bed that way. That might be a little too Adirondack for you though?? You could also add the need length and do some appliques (flowers?) across the width that maybe spread up onto one corner of the lob cabin blocks. Where there's a will there's a way!!
