A summer house...

I originally pulled this light blue floral fabric for the Lyra QAL, but didn't end up using it, and then I thought it make a fun house block.

It makes me think of blue sky, roses, and green grass.

Speaking of green grass - how about using that for the heart on the front door?


This combination made a sweet little house!


And here's how the neighborhood is shaping up now that it's June.  I decided it needed some flowers instead of another tree.  I was thinking pink geraniums, but the block turned out more like a bush.  Hmmm.... maybe this a hydrangea flower?  You'll have to use your imagination!

I'm starting to think about how this will be put together eventually - 
I know it's going to need sashing because the blocks are different sizes.  
Maybe a green for grassy walkways between the houses?
Something to contemplate!

You were successful with making a pastel house block. Impressive! I like your thought of grassy walkways between the houses.

Sounds like a good plan. Years ago I made a neighborhood quilt with different size blocks - the horizontal sashing was done in a cobblestone print like streets, and the vertical sashing was a blue like the sky between the houses.

Your subdivision is coming along nicely. It's fun to come across a print that turns out to be just right for the project.

What a cute little house, that print is so pretty. You are quite talented at making those house blocks. I like your green idea!

The neighborhood is growning. The blue floral was a great choice for a house. Well done.

Your housing neighborhood is expanding nicely. And the month goes by so quickly, only one week remaining and I havent started my house yet! I am down with a case of pnemonia, and not really caring if I do anything these days. Does that count?
