I know the setting I'd like these to be, but I do not have a pattern. I sashed them first with 1 1/2" strips. Then I needed to add the tan to the top of some blocks in a row to make them even with the taller blocks. (each row is not the same height, though)
I just noticed that this black strip is supposed to go all the way across the top.
Here's the model I am using. i had a blast taking a class from Tonye and making the houses, but she only had a photo, no directions, so I'm winging it.
Here's my top roof part. It almost seems easier to applique this block down.
A few weeks ago you saw a pile of fabrics I was choosing from for the fall quiltalong. Well, this is what I chose. Very amoeba-ish. I love it! It is more of a golden cheddar than true cheddar. Will you be ready to start in 2 weeks?
Have an excellent weekend.
I'm sure you can "wing" it just fine! Looks so bright and cheery. And, yes, I think I will be ready in a couple weeks!
ReplyDeleteAlways love a house quilt! I like the 'quirkiness' of it. Cannot wait to see it with the roof section!
ReplyDeleteYou are winging it just fine, such a fun house quilt! Mom looks like she is having fun and you have great support with staff. Nice!

ReplyDeleteLori, I think your black strip is correct, take a second look, it is the top of the house before the triangle for the roof!
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern, can you buy it separately or is it just thru the class? I love Tonye's houses!
Looking good Lori.
The house blocks are great. Kind of fun to do something wonky once in a while. Can't wait to see the newest project. I love that cheddar fabric. Reminds me of biology class!
ReplyDeleteIt's delightful! So cheerful. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, those houses just make me smile - so quirky and fun! So excited about the new quilt along!!
ReplyDeleteYou wing it in style, Lori! This is pure fun!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I must have missed the post about fabrics for the next SAL. Maybe while I was on the road. I need to go back in your archives and see what is coming up.
Finished two dresses yesterday--will get them in the mail right away.
Enjoy your time with Randy today. You deserve a break.
That cheddar has me curious, it's one of my favorite fabrics. I just might still have some around here somewhere...
ReplyDeleteLove how wonky those houses are! Such a fun quilt. I'm looking forward to the quiltalong. I don't have cheddar but I do have an orange. That's kinda like cheddar :))
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to a quiltalong. I have been so involved in "life" that I haven't had a chance to participate for a long time. This will be fun. I have a lot of cheddar fabric including the one you have picked out.
ReplyDeleteVery fun! This is going to be such a great quilt.:)
ReplyDeleteThe Houses are great, fun finish! Love the cheddar ameoba fabric too.
ReplyDeleteDear Lori,
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful project.
Love the houses in the house.
Greetings,
Sylvia
super fun house quilt - what a creative pattern!
ReplyDeleteLove the happy houses. What a wonderful project. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGREAT job. Wish I could wing it as good as you.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
Your wing job looks like it's working! This is going to be adorable.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear more about the quilt along.
Funny blocks for a funny quilt !!
ReplyDeleteYou figured out a setting solution for the blocks. Blocks of different sizes can be a challenge to fit them into a pleasing setting in a quilt and you have done well.
ReplyDeleteI am loving your house quilt! Such fun and quirky houses! Great job getting the setting figured out. No pattern available? Do you think she is going to publish a pattern? I hope to join in the sew along. Do we need a cheddar fabric?
