I was inspired by this board when n2scraplvr posted some pics on house blocks. I have been wanting to make a house quilt and seeing her numerous blocks got me motivated. So here is what I ended up doing. The blocks are from a book called Stitch and Split Applique by Jayme Crow and Joan Segna. I put a different spin on the colouring. It is meant to be quirky and not perfect. I just need to add the boarders now but wanted to thank this board for inspiring people sharing so thought I better share in return. The photo colours aren't the best I'm afraid but best I could do for now. The ones that look orange are actually shocking pinks.

I love house quilts. n2 inspired me too, and I have made a couple of house blocks but none are as colorful as yours are. This is really pretty and I love that you went out of the box with the colors, too. Very, very pretty!

Pictures do get us motivated, don't they?

How adorable. Great job

Maria C 06-29-2010 10:18 AM

Thanks for the comments ladies. Helps keep me motivated to get to the next step of borders which I have yet to decide what to do.

sandyl 07-21-2010 03:44 AM

Maria have you decided on borders yet? I'm wondering what quilting you will do on this. I did "Cabin in the Woods" and have yet to get the quilting figured out. That is the part that I always have difficulty in deciding. Just wondering how yours is coming along.

HI Sandyl, I would love to see a picture of your "Cabin in the woods". I got the borders on last weekend and will do more pics of that in coming days and post here but like you qulting has me wondering. I feel there is enough interest in the blocks to have subtle quilting and even "in the ditch" quilting which I haven't really done since I first started quilting but that is all that comes to mind right now.

JJean 07-21-2010 12:20 PM

Gorgeous quilt! I love it! :thumbup:

jljack 07-21-2010 12:30 PM
