this really made my day, i love house blocks but always wondered how a quilt would look with a bunch of them, i didn't see this coming, of course its gonna look a lot better if the houses are not in blocks. awesome!
im moving in, into any of the green houses, whichever is available. ;)

That's it. I'm making a house quilt and I'm doing it today!
Extraordinarily_Laura (39 months ago | reply)
I am making one now!! Most challenging quilt I have ever made. It's laid out on the kitchen floor as I type. I have to figure out the puzzle of what's going to sew where and next to what. I have to say I'm going to love it I think. Too much fun in a quilt!
Viv J M (39 months ago | reply)
Looking for inspiration for house quilt I am making for my little boy. This is it! What a fabulous, wonderful, spectacularly lovely quilt!
Treewhimsy (39 months ago | reply)
My niece (12) told me just yesterday that when she grew up she wanted a house that was all polka dots. So I'm going to do it. Thanks for the inspiration.
krommama (39 months ago | reply)
i think a really life polka dot house would be wonderful!
