Split Rail Fence from Quilt In A Day or another pattern in which you sew wof strips together and then cut the block out it is also important that the pattern has a larger middle rai fence. The middle fence rail can be the scencic fabric (cabin or wild life) the smaller rails can be contrasting colors.
Here is the link so you can kind of see what I mean.

It focusses on children but I use this all the time if I have a scenic print I wan to display and people always love it.

Do a baby takes 3. It takes 3 fabrics that are 3/8 yd each plus enough for the borders and backing. It takes about 3 hours. There are alot of fishing and cabin type fabrics out there. You can even use flannel for the back to make it more snuggleble I know its not a word but you get my meaning.

I have done the 9-patch pizzazz by Judy Sisneros and made 6 of these for grandchildren in record time for Christmas last year (one of which was a fishing quilt for a 16 yr.old grandson) There are 2-12" squares. The link is judysisneros.com

Just don't visit this site as often as I do (and I love it, don't get me wrong) and you'll get it done. I keep going through this site and changing my mind all the time as to which design I'd like to do!

Very good idea! I like the design. Another one on my to-do list!

Basicly it is just a feature fabric that you pull three colors from for the other three fabrics you buy. Then you decide what size blocks you want and cut them out. Then you cut the three fabrics into strips that when they are sewn together equal out to the same size as your original cut blocks. Sew the strips all the same. Then divide them by the cross cuts, making a square. It is the way you turn the blocks that creates the pattern. That is it! It creates the different colored frames around your feature fabric. Easy Peasy!
In the meantime, here is a link to some pictures on them.

Then you just have to layer with a 80/20 batting and backing, pin every thing into place to keep it there and do a simple stitch in the ditch 10 inches apart. (Or closer if you wish. The 80/20 allows you to quilt 10 inches apart) Cut off the batting and put your bias binding on.
