Month 3--show small houses here

[nhbaskets]

Carol, This is fabulous! I love this done in wool. It must have taken many, many hours of work, but well worth the effort. I just might try it in wool. Where did you get your linen background?

Thanks, Sharon! So far, it’s gone pretty quickly. I’m now working on attaching the houses to my background and find dealing with the wholecloth linen rather cumbersome, mostly because I added a stabilizer on the backside. The linen is from a local fabric store here in NH. It’s actually a light lilac color, but that doesn’t show well when using my phone for pic

Carole, I am curious as to what detailing you will add to tall buildings.. I too am doing a bit of details, but I have no idea how to handle the tall building!

Susan, Scroll down. I answered your previous post on this. ~Carole B. aka nhbaskets

I was able to start at the end of February and do January, February and then March. I am loving this BOM, the first I have done with The Quilt Show. I chose to use Ricky Tims hand dyed fabrics, mostly scraps so far, for the houses and center. I chose a blue with white dots for the background so needed something else besides a blue center medallion. I thought the oranges looks like the sun shining on my world to brighten my colors.

I’m having so much fun doing this. I can’t wait for the next step!

I am truly enjoying this year’s project!

So satisfying to finish the small houses. When they go together in pairs, no matter which # house goes next to the other, the 1/4" seam (or scant therof) allows each roof to perfectly come to a point at the seam. What precision Wendy Williams devised! I am so impressed with the quality of the pattern, with Barbara's tutorials and tips. Can't wait for next steps! A few of my 'doors' have some artistic fabrics, reminiscent of the painted doors in Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal.

It is so interesting to see how different the blocks look when a different background is used. I like this.

I pressed my seams open too (for exactly the same reason.

[Kurtel]

should we then press our seams open ?

These are all my houses. I finally got the pairs sewn together today. I'm loving this quilt; it is cheery in a time when we all need some "cheer" in our lives.

I got my small houses paired and I’m ready for month 4! I love this quilt and really enjoy this freezer paper piecing. Most of my roofs and doors are Dupioni silk and the houses are shott cotton.
