When I saw houses as the theme I got excited! I love houses in quilts!

I'm new to quilting and no stash. Should I look to purchase the fabric now or wait for the instructions?

Pam,
Thank you ever so much for posting your house quilt!! :thumbup: It is so cute & I think it will help everyone see what their's might look like when we are all done. Now, I am more excited than ever!!
:D :D :D :D
