The pattern you showed is an option and it would work if the 4-patch included some pigs. But that is not what I was thinking.
I imagine a regular or a wonky log cabin block made in the rusty, red, brown tones that are in the pig fabric. THen, I would cut a square of pig fabric, the same size as the log cabin and alternate one pig- one log cabin. In those colors, the log cabin could be a log barn - hence my original title.
Another idea: Have you seen some of the quilts done with Olivia (the pig) fabric? You may decide to use one of those patterns and feature your parade of pigs in place of Olivia.
