Does this mean that you can't applique? Not that I was going to...but just curious!

Yup what raptureready said! The house itself should be pieced, which I think will give your quilt a little consistency (you need something to make all those funky houses work together!), but after that you have free reign to do whatever you want!!

I should have everyone that has given a definite yes signed up through here. Let me know if you don't see your name on the activity page or you haven't gotten a PM from me! I am so excited for this ..... I am already picking out the drapes for when I move into our funky neighborhood ..... Who's on the welcoming committee? I expect a plate of cookies when I move in!! hehehe

Cheers!

Okay, count me in for one set! I just can't resist the idea of a house quilt. I've never kept a quilt that I've made, but this one is going to be mine!

I whipped up a quick house today, just to give it a try. It kind of blends together cause I just grabbed my bucket of blue and a strip of green for the grass. Obviously you'd want to make the house stand out more than I did!! :) :)

You'll notice from the picture that this is an unfinished 3.5 (3" finished) block. I wanted to try it just to see if I could do it!! I think in this swap, smaller is slightly harder, but I kinda like the small ones too!! :) :)

We already have 15 people signed up!! That will make a very nice neighborhood ... I will now be baking the cookies for our new neighbors since Pat obviously cannot be trusted!! She's too easily distracted by fabric. :) :)

Cheers!
Rachel

I want to sign up and make a whole pile of these blocks! Do we have to tell you how many, exactly?
