House quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
I made the house blocks a couple of years ago, but couldn't decide how to put them together. I decided to add some other blocks that represent important events/things in my life--children, pets, hobbies, etc. It's 72x48 and minimal straight line quilting. I decided to hang it on the landing of our stairs where we have a tall wall. It was kind of fun to make, but I'm glad it's done!

How very clever. You could pin on buttons for each holiday. Wreath shapes, pumpkins, etc.

I am not much into house quilts but when I seen this one I fell in love with it! The color and everything is beautiful. Great job!

kiffie2413 06-17-2014 12:57 AM

Your houses and neighborhood are adorable! The lil personal touches you added absolutely make the quilt "come to life".
And I love Tesspug's idea of "decorating" the houses for different occasions...

Mary O 06-17-2014 02:45 AM

Love your house quilt and the color choices.Very creative..........

I love the simplicity of this pattern as most 'house' patterns look complicated. Nicely done.

NUTMEG10 06-17-2014 03:21 AM

What a darling village. I would not mind living there. Great job.

bjchad 06-17-2014 03:50 AM

Love the extra blocks you mixed in! They really make the quilt something different and special.

Jammin' Jane 06-17-2014 03:54 AM

Fun quilt! I am sure you smile each time you see it!! :)

gabeway 06-17-2014 04:25 AM

Really great job!

Yooper32 06-17-2014 04:53 AM

Great way you assembled your blocks in varying positions. Gives it real interest instead of ho-hum, especially with your little add-ons.

Jackie Spencer 06-17-2014 04:55 AM

Cute quilt, love the little extra's!!

Mariposa 06-17-2014 04:56 AM

A lovely neighborhood! :)

Marcia_PA 06-17-2014 05:49 AM

Thank you for all the nice comments. I am really pleased at how it dresses up the stair area. All the fabrics were scraps or leftovers from other projects, or fabric from my small (compared to many!) stash. When I am recovered from this project, I think I'll make another house quilt. I see so many cute ones when I Google them.

Tess and others, I never thought of adding holiday shapes at various times of the year. The stores do have a lot of cute buttons now. I like that idea! I think I need a U.S. flag somewhere on it.
