I asked for houses on a blue or pale background, any design and shape and to add some embellishments if liked. Some added fussy cut pieces for the windows, applique trees, fences, a swing and even a dog! In addition, there were some very generous additions to the blocks. I’m loving the socks (so cute!) and the tissue holder is very apt at the moment (on steroids and more antibiotics for sinus – grr wish it would just go away!)Helen even sent me the dog template she used so I am going to give Harvey (that's what I’m calling him!) a brother and a dog house and fill in some of the other spaces with applique clouds, maybe a clothes line and some garden flowers. This is a happy fun eclectic neighbourhood. Any idea what I should call this quilt?
I’m loving all the colour up on the wall, it is so very cheery at the moment. We’ve had horrible wind, rain, hailstones, thunder and lightning and snow this past week – hard to believe it is March and Spring! Thank you ladies for such beautiful blocks.
Linking up to Design Wall Monday and Thankful Thursdays!
What cute house blocks! I'm not usually a fan of house blocks, but these are adorable. Have fun playing with these.
ReplyDeleteI think I would call the quilt "community" to remind you of the wonderful quilting community that made so many lovely blocks for you. :) That was so nice of Helen to give you the template for the dog.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks! They are so cheerful looking and people have put in some fantastic details.
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth! All these houses are Super fun! I love the one on the hill! This could also be 'Lost in London'! Have a great week! x Teje

ReplyDeleteThey look amazing together! Esp love the block with the pup - that's so sweet.Is there one with a swing? How cute!
ReplyDeleteFun, fun blocks! I tried to think of a name and all of mine were pretty boring, so I'm no help there.
ReplyDeleteHope the sinus crud clears up soon.
I don't have any ideas for naming this quilt Ruth. All I know is that it makes me feel really happy to look at all the blocks together. So much fun!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a village! You have a lovely village or small town here. A hamlet perhaps? It looks like a whimsical fun project that will help cheer those germs away.
