I've joined in the 'Building Houses from Scraps' project, and made these two yesterday. Started by Jeanneke they seem to be enormously popular, popping up all over blogland. Jeanneke is handpiecing 7.5 cm (3") size blocks, one a day for the whole year, but luckily it's a no pressure, break the rules kind of project, so mine are 10cm ( 4") and I'm going to do enough for a small wall hanging. I've foundation pieced mine by hand, and they're all going to be scrappy blues, with a red door and roof.A nice project to work on yesterday while listening to the rain thunder relentlessly on the roof all day, and small and easy enough to whip up one a day....well, that's the plan!
....oh, and if you'd like to join in, the pattern will be available on Jeanneke's blog until the end of today.
Love the critters peeping out of the windows!
ReplyDeleteooh yes, so do i. i can imagine a whole barnyard looking out the windows.
ReplyDeletenumber of blocks I do might be dependent on how many fabrics with critters on I can find in my stash!

ReplyDeletein the windows. Lots of fun.
I'm really enjoying how quilting is enjoying itself again. It seemed to go through a serious important phase for the last decade or so. Love the smiles.
critters are on their way.........whoosh!
ReplyDeleteI love the red and blue color combo. Since we are both using reds predominantly perhaps you are interested in doing a RED charm swap? Let me know and we can set it up.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie, thanks for visiting..yes, seems like there's whole cities popping up all over.
ReplyDeleteHi Terry, yeah, it's gotta be fun, or there's no point really. I'm enjoying fossicking through my stash deciding who'll be in the window today...bit like Playschool..ha ha.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see your critters kaite, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHi Michal that's a great idea, let's do that.
ReplyDeleteFor my visitors, Michal is making her houses in pinks/reds and white, it's delicious, go have a look.
The houses are cute. It's hard to be beat blue, red and white together.
