What Marcia said!!! And this really doesnt have that much applique. The houses are mostly pieced with just some accents appliqued. You should try it!!!!
Melissa, I really, really love this quilt pattern. It's so pretty! I might just go ahead and give it a try. Thanks for the encouragement. :D

Melissa--this is my favorite one. I downloaded it to get a better look at all the detail. I like the yellow you used for the house-good choice-and the three dimensional shutters! How fun is that!! And the woman in the window arranging flowers-cute! The fence and gate are adorable-right down to the handle!! And the grass and stone fabrics are great! Definitely my favorite! It gets the 3 cute salute-Cute, Cute, Cute!!! (But, I do not want the other houses to feel bad so don't tell them this is my fav-they are all very cute too! :D )

I wont bore you with the step by step on the rest of the quilt, but will show the finished top when I get it done!!!
