    I'm looking for a pattern to make an Outhouse. For 2011 our quilt guild is going to do a House BOM. We can make any house we want, (house, birdhouse, etc.) Sorry but the first thing that popped into my mind was OUTHOUSE...so I'm on a quest. Any links, inputs, etc., would be greatly appreciated.

    Buy a piece of clipart from clipart.com. It is then royalty free and you can do whatever you want - which would be to make it into an applique. I do this a lot since I cannot draw. It is relativally cheap too!

    I did one a couple of years ago. I made the house a little more narrow than a regular house. Then appliqued a crescent moon above the door. I made mine small because I put it in the border of the quilt.
