Those were fun! Love 'em all. But I am not fond of making them. We did them one time for an exchange I was in. So much work went into them. But I put mine together using the BQ pattern and it looked like streets between the houses. One of my grandson's has the quilt now. Thank you for posting all those pics!

The RWB star-centered one is a great one! Gives me lots of ideas! They have their charm viewing ea separately! Glad you enjoyed it and can be revisited anytime you go to do a house design!

:D :D :D

You are so right -- house construction of the blocks can be so laborious but with the right pattern it can be a cinch! Quiltville site is a good one! I like the simplest construction on the houses and they are just as charming as those really labored over. Not posted here today were wonky houses. We'll have to do another thread on just the wonky ones with nothing to line up or match. Your welcome; I loved downloading it all and welcome to the QB from VA! You will totally love this site of all that you see and learn!!

:D :D

Thank you, Maksi, for telling us how you did that great glitter job on the fabrics!! Aren't these houses great? Yes, I think about all the neat shacks in the world I've seen pics of and would like to do a rendition of them some time. A houseswap sounds great! Anything to do with houses sounds good!! And your quite welcome!

:D :D
