Love your little Tea Shop. Looks like it might sell scones with jam and cream in them, like they do in Devon in England. They have a sign that says Cream Teas and when it comes you have a whole plate of scones freshly baked with strawberry jam and real Devon clotted cream. That brought back some lovely memories. This is just a beautiful quilt. Love it

These are fab. WOW, you are an inspiration to me. I've been working on developing a pattern to show the four houses my father lived in.....and I had to make a trip back to Amarillo to take more pictures of two of the houses....my memory just wasn't quite great enough.
I do love your cottages and your choice of fabrics. I hope mine comes out well, but it won't be nearly as great as yours. Please post more as you proceed. :D

Melissa your blocks are coming on fast!! On the Quilters Cottage where you noticed lack of contrast, although the door is pieced (I think!!) - Couldn't you do a fancy stitching in a light thread to highlight the outline of the door to make it stand out, and applique a letterbox or make a half window on the door? - I like embellishing tee hee :lol: :roll:
