After finishing up the last two houses for the Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL, I knew I couldn't do anything with them until I found the right sashing and border fabric. So I started in on some blue zipper blocks. In our previous month of blue I had made two dark blocks and one light, so this month I did the opposite.
The fun part of making these blocks is
picking out the contrasting fabric for the center!
Eighteen blocks made so far.
As the week went on, I did find a dark blue fabric that will work for the Neighbourhood quilt. I love the stars on it!
So this coming week, my plan is to get the sashing on these blocks,
and hopefully get the top together in time for the first quilt parade over at mmmquilts,
which starts on June 15th. Fingers crossed!

Your zipper blocks are cute. Your background fabric looks great with the house fabric.
Those zipper blocks are just terrific, especially when you lay them out together. Love them, and will probably just have to make some someday.
Your zipper blocks are really pretty! I can't wait to see your house quilt in the parade of quilts.
What a wonderful collection of zipper blocks and can hardly wait for the parade of quilty homes!
Wishing you lots of sewing time this week to get the house quilt together!
the zipper blocks really go well with each other and going to make a great quilt
I like the contrasting zippers! I've made a couple....ought to get back to 'em.
Great zipper blocks! And I love the rainbow penguin house, too. Happy weekend!
Those zipper blocks are fun and happy! They are like a party in themselves! I like the fabric for your rainbow houses sashing too. What terrific progress you've made on your projects.
Those blocks make such cute zippers!!!
Zipper blocks and houses, all looking great!
Your zipper blocks look so happy together. How many do you plan to make for a quilt? More 6? The stars fabric will work beautifully for the sashing. Looking forward to seeing your quilt on the Neighbourhood parade.
Looking forward to seeing the houses with the starry sashing! So cute. I have to admit, when I first saw the zipper block out there in the blogosphere, I wasn't a fan. However, your renditions made me change my mind. I like them.
18 zips looking GREAT! It's a cool pattern for scraps & RSC. I like doing a few with the solid in the middle and the RSC on the outside. It's going to be a fun one to sew up into a top one day.
The navy with stars is a great choice for the sashing. Wishing you lots of progress on getting it together in time for the final link up.
I love how colorful all your blocks are! Great choice on the setting fabric for your house quilt.

great zippers!!!
I like the way this house hosts a 16 patch!! and the blue is perfect for it!
