The pattern on the bird fabric I have is a bit larger, so I'd probably need a larger area in the quilt design. It has a brown "manly" background. Keep the ideas coming - I really appreciate them!

One that I like to see is a focus fabric with log cabins around it to frame it up. And additional log cabins added to make a combo pattern. There was a beautiful one posted not so long ago by one of our posters!
Oooooh, I love this trellis pattern! Any idea where I could find it? It would give me a lot of room to display the birds, and maybe I could put a pine cone border around it to frame it, and two contrasting more neutral colors.
Still thinking...
Or, you could use the trellis effect around any focus fabric that I did with this quilt. Right colours, still would be quite he-man!!!
