Hi Krisb, Any Sue you want to do is fine. I haven't done my houses yet, but it is because I can't decide on one thing. I just love both things and want to incorporate them into a quilt. As far as any specifics, I want a light blue background. It can be tone on tone or just plain light blue fabric. I have seen lots of both patterns on this board and the only thing I don't want is wonky. Plain houses and plain sues I guess. Sue can be scrappy and houses can be scrappy. Just colorful is what I want. Does that make sense?
