My friend Ann helped me pick out some fabrics to get these house blocks together. They have been orphaned for quite some time and I could not get them to look right in different settings. I don't think the contrast between the red houses and red star is ideal, but I am happy.
I like the fact that it makes a nice wall hanging at this size. There is a small temptation to make a pieced border. I am still contemplating that. With my "new" enlarged reproduction stash I could certainly find some nice reds to make a half square triangle border.
There are still four houses to deal with - they are in the "negative" colour combination. I think they will make a nice pillow.
Happy quilting, Sue.

So nice that those little orphans now have a "home". Turned out very sweet!
ReplyDeleteGood that you found a way of using the blocks, too much work to just throw them out.
ReplyDeleteYou got creative and the houses worked out well. I think a little border would make a great frame.
ReplyDeleteLove how you have set these house blocks.
