Here is the Vikings Twee Top. I bought the deer and Vikings fabric in early 2007 deliberately for a quilt for my BIL and then didn't know how to combine it. The trees had been cut out for 5 or 6 years. I started doing the trees and had an AHA! moment. Deer, Vikings and trees have absolutely nothing in common but have everything in common with my BIL (Vikings fan, hunter and has 80 acres with lots of trees). Think about it. Do you have novelty fabrics you have no clue what to do with? Think about combining them based on someone's hobbies or interests.
This quilt used up 10.5 yards of stash fabric and 9 yards of newly purchased fabric. The remaining Vikings fabric goes with my sister to make an additional project. The flannel was a deal at $2.50 a yard and it is football fabric!
Fabric Used:
3.5 yards deer fabric for borders and binding (stash)
3 yards of Vikings fabric (stash)
4 yards estimate for tree blocks (stash)
1 yard purple block sashing (new)
1/2 yard dark purple narrow border (new)
7.5 yards flannel backing (new)
Pattern used (FREE!) at this website.

I'm the recipient of this quilt and it's still toasty warm. I made scrappy pillowcases out of the scrap flannel from my sister, so I got a bunch of free pillowcases & gave some away. I even gave her a couple.
