The pattern of the quilt from MCCall's, is called America the Beautiful. It came in 6 parts, of 6 different issues of the McCalls magazine. I only have the last part 6 issue & it is dated November/December 2011, Volume 18 No.6. It is called McCall's Quilting the Best of American Quiting. I hope this is of some help to you. Please be sure to post pictures of your house quilt when it is finished, okay?

Hi Cheryl, thank so much for your response. I will look for the magazines for more inspiration. I am very excited about this quilt, because these blocks were my introduction to paper piecing, which I now love to do. So it will be fun to create some additional blocks to complement it. I will do some 6" x 6" blocks and some 6" x 12" blocks, which seems to be similar to what they did in the magazine, guessing from Candi's photo. I think that using the same fabrics for the additional blocks as the house blocks will really tie it all together. You can bet that I will post pictures!
