You are the artist. Don't get too carried away with trying to please someone who isn't doing it. Let her make it. That's why I quit making things for others. They have no idea what they are asking. Sorry to preach but it is your work of art.

How about a row of tents at the top? Or a couple tents and a couple of trees?

I blanket stitch the appliques down.You can do that as part of the quilting, but it means a lot of manhandling the quilt to go round the appliques. I don't like to quilt over the appliques, just around them in the blocks. It can be a lot of layers to try and quilt through also sometimes, if you were to try and quilt through them.

You can add a blocks with a simple tent or cabin, a dock into water, or birds (geese, ducks) or even a hiking trail and rocks.

that would be very cool. So for simplicity sake, maybe add another two rows of the log cabins and the on each side of the trees do mountains? mountains connect with conoeing(sp?) and trees and the color sceme. or maybe rivers all the way down on both the sides?

just trying to inspire you!
OOH that does sounds lovely !!

Janice I love your quilt. You are doing an awesome job on it.
By the way what is the pattern? I would doing that too.
You've had some really nice advice from everyone. I did notice the add moose and bears which would by my advice. But I'm an animal freak so beings your doing such a swell job on it so far I know whatever you do on it it will turn out great. I hope to see it when you get it done. Your daughter will love it. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
