I had 8 houses left after I made the front of the quilt so I continued my neighborhood to the back of the quilt. I love the crinkleness of a stippled quilt. The final measurements for this quilt is 54"x65". I haven't decided who this is going to yet. I kinda want to keep it but I have way too many quilts!Monday, March 23, 2009
Happy, scrappy houses
I made a bunch of scrappy house blocks last year when I first learned how to quilt. They were easy to make and gave me the needed practice in assembling blocks. I've been trying to finish up a bunch of abandoned projects and decided to turn my houses into a neighborhood. I framed each house block with Kona ivory and then sashed and bordered in a very bright yellow. At first, I thought it was too loud but now I'm loving the brightness of the quilt .
