Hello Charlee, I've just dug out a couple of pieces to check the selvedges. The green which is the main colour in the houses says "Ozark Calicos by Fabri-Quilt Inc." The brown flowered strips are "Joan Kessler for Concord Fabrics Inc. Crafted with Pride in USA". The pink flowers in the hedge I have spotted in a photo on Bonnie Hunter's blog, someone in one of her classes had worked it into one of their blocks.
I wish I knew where the background came from. It has a border print with Egyptians on. It didn't show up very well on photos which is a shame, because in the gateway of one of the houses are a couple of Egyptians who my husband has dubbed the Egyptian gardeners, which gives the whole quilt a slightly barmy edge.
