No School, It's a Snow Day by Trudy Kutter.
I saved this picture from somewhere....if it was a member here, I love it and want to make a similar one someday. I was captivated by the alternate blocks fabric and have searched www.quiltshops.com for it to no avail. Anybody know a source? I think that fabric just makes the quilt!

It is a Dutch blog

Jan, I agree with you!. If you locate a source I wouldn't mind a PM. But I bet it is no longer being made.

It's a kit and it's flannel. https://www.thequiltbear.com/store-detail.php?ID=680

I found it using google images.

Rhondals, please do post what you came up with. The ones I see look like they'd take longer than 5 mins!! i wonder if paper-piecing would be the easiest method? thoughts?

What a fun project!

Just trying to get an understanding of paper piecing, found this pattern for a 12 inch school house block, sharing for you all to see. A wonderful tutorial goes along with it.

I saw that set. It's the one she used for the little house quilt with all those houses. I guess I understand about platforming the rubber. That's on my list to get. I think I would use it more than an Accuquilt.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]499157[/ATTACH]5 minute house Pattern:

Two 5 inch charm squares, one light, one dark, (Make yr own, it's cheaper.) and one one inch by about 2 1/2 inch or so piece of scrap.
6 inch white square for background

Use a 6 inch Omnigrid. Measure half the 5 inch square and use a rotary cutter. Cut that thing in half. Save the upper half.
Use a scrap about 1 1/2 inch, or 2. Cut the bottom house piece in 3, save the middle one for another doorway.
Sew the corresponding piece (door) to the 2 bottom pieces, putting the door in the middle. I think my doors are about 1 1/2 inches. Sew the top piece and bottom piece right sides together. A quarter inch seam allowance will make it smaller than the roof. Don't worry about that.

Fold the 2nd charm into a triangle, diagonally. Then do it again. Spit fold to make a mark on both folds. Cut them 4 ways, this makes 4 roofs. I use one for a template for all my roofs now.

Sew the roof onto the house. Right sides together but you already know this. Make a bunch of houses then do the next thing: (if the squares end up uneven, trim them to even them up.) Don't worry about the roof, or you can even up the diagonal part.

Spray basting spray on the wrong side of the house, cause you'll go through too much double sided fusible interfacing. Put the house, on a 6 inch piece of white. Use your embroidery skills to blanket stitch around the house, or cheat and use your sewing machine to blanket stitch around the house.

Make one a day and eventually you're going to have a big quilt to deal with.

That's the 5 minute house pattern. I made one yesterday, one today.

Literally takes under 10 minutes and is cheaper than buying anything extra. My first house was the one from the charm piece. My second I messed up the 5 inch square. doesn't matter, I'll still use it. It's from the quilt top I am almost finished with. I think I started something.
