I loved finding the fabrics for the trees. Although the pointed trees intimidated me, I love them the most.

I also had to be sure and put a little pink house in there ala John Cougar Mellencamp.

This is a pretty fast quilt (if you don't go by my haphazard timeline!) once you have the cutting done. I think I spent the most time simply picking out the fabrics. Not sure how I want it quilted. The book shows it done with horizontal lines, then diamonds created at an angle. I like the way it looks but not sure if that's what I want or not.

Hopefully I'll have a completed top to post tomorrow!

wolfkitty - would love to hear about your idea!!

Great quilt! I especially like the lil pink house for John Cougar Mellencamp. I will be watching for your in progress pics. I am going to add this quilt to my project list. Is cabin in the woods the name of the book or quilt pattern?

I love how you have chosen to do this scrappy, AND the reference to John Cougar Mellencamp too :D:D:D

I did that quilt! I love it, tho I haven't quilted mine as yet. I posted a picture of it somewhere here on this board. Love your choices of colors.

You're off to a good start! Glad you are healed up!!

The book is called "Quick Quilts from your Scrap Bag". Most of the quilts don't look "quick" but this one is. I want to do another from the book called Funky Chicken. It's hilarious and adorable.

ejpkam was the other lady that did this pattern. Look her up she had a very neat idea to quilt hers.
