a quilt featuring your home
#1
Has anyone ever made a house quilt that looks like your own house? Like an interpretation of a photo of your home? I'm tossing this around in the back of my mind for a future project and wondered if anyone has recommendations or tips to offer. Pictures of finished projects would be helpful (and fun) to see too.

I'm planning one for my DH. Have been told that they used a enlargement picture of the house and then drew it out on paper, and used that as the pattern for cutting and placing the material for appliquing it together. May friend has a projector that will show the picture on the wall and you can tape paper and draw it out. Can't start it yet until my 3 UFO's are done, but will bookmark this & keep you updated.

Oooh, I just had another thought . . . I still have a drawing from the builder. It's a line drawing on a promo page that shows the floor plan. The details on the house aren't exact, but it would give the proper proportions. Hmmm.

I saw one at Lavender Lime quilt shop. Their sample even had the tire marks in the driveway. It was very interesting. They were having classes on how to do this. You may be able to get more information from them. www.lavenderlimeinspires.com
