soo soo cute! Much smaller than the ones I made. Was it hard with those tiny pieces?

Libby said...

I've made 3 blocks of my own, after seeing your earlier post of the "house" quilt! I"m thinking about keeping mine small for a wall-hanging..but they are soo much fun to make! I still wish you would do a tutorial (with all your free time!!HA) I felt like I wasted alot of fabric with the way I did mine! Your quilt is going to be GREAT!! I love those blocks!

Very cute! All the white looks so soft, like snow; looking forward to see how you'll quilt it.
A little house quilt-a-long sounds great to me:-)

Gorgeous! I'm terribly jealous. maybe when Iv'e actually finished all the projects I'm meant to be working on I'll make one for myself. Cheers, Rosie

Anonymous said...

This is so cute!! My mom would love a quilt like this. Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to make those house blocks?

Very cute! I love how you use white to help set off your blocks, both here and in your nine-patch quilts.

I know you said that you had "copied" this pattern, but when you put your touches to anything....well what can I say, you just make it sing!

The Pugs said...

Your quilt is shaping up to be absolutely ADORABLE!! Will you give us some hints about making our own? Have you come up with all the house patterns? Or are you copying them from somewhere. SO stinking cute, and I love they they are just set in simple WHITE.

LyndaG said...

Thank you for your comment on Old Red Barn -- I have to give you credit after following your blog all summer, you certainly influenced my break from highly traditional fabrics and quilts. And your little houses have added to the design for the matching bumpers... and must get busy as my niece's due date is next Sunday!

craft-crazed said...

Have I told you how much I love this?!?!?!?! well... I DO!

Carly said...

I love all of your quilts! I just wanted to say thanks for this blog, I found it my chance at the beginning of the summer, and I loved it! then i found your ragged squares tutorial, and got hooked! I made 2 quilts over the summer (both from your tutes) and I just wanted to say thanks!! you can see the squares one here: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=320385.0

ilovebabyquilts said...

I love this! It's like a little gnome neighborhood. You should call the quilt that: Gnome Neighborhood. It's kind of alliterative.

Twinfibers said...

It's going to be great! It's fun to see what they are looking like all put together.
