I have located the quilt that our guild made for the ME State raffle -- it was called 99 houses --
What is a house?? there were barns, bird houses, dog houses, lighthouses, a house on stilts from a member who had livid in the Phillipines.]
A house is where something/somebody lives.

Do not feel that your house fabric has to look like wood or bricks or aluminum siding. I saw an artist once who literally pulled fabric at random from her stash to make houses. The wall may have had fish, the roof might have been polka dots, and the sky might have had monkeys. Sounds crazy, but it worked.
What a Gorgeous House block!! :thumbup: Thank you so much for posting your picture for everyone to see. I am just drooling over your picture!!
:D :D :D :D
Is it possible for me to get even more excited about this bom than I already was? Yes! (swoon) Thanks for the pic of the beautiful, homey quilt!
