Last week was the unpicking week. Don't ask .. a border I didn't like, another one that was so wavy it was seasick, a sashing strip that mysteriously moved 1/8" over and wasn't noticed until I went to press it.
Domiciles is done and on the design wall so I can admire it. See many other quilter's design walls at Patchwork Times.
No two house blocks are alike although some fabrics have been used several times. The blocks with tiny houses were done 'freestyle'. Some are short and stout, others tall and skinny. There is a barn with a tall grain bin. Very tiny scraps were used and that part was fun.
Only the bias binding to make and the backing to piece, then it goes into a bag to wait it's turn to be quilted.
Y'all come back!
Congrats on the finish. It's a beautiful quilt, love the colors!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. I refer to your troubles as "unsewing" and have done more than my fair share of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt. I love scrappy quilts!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, creative quilt. So, did you plan it to go with your blog decor? Or is it a favored color?
ReplyDeleteThe picture above makes it look pinker than it is, it is red. I really liked the way the original pattern looked with lots of little red houses, and I had a lot of red especially after I looted Lori's stash for reds too. It has been kind of a red year.
DeleteI like the lone yellow house. Its cheerful, waiting for spring.
ReplyDeleteThat house belongs to a Pastafarian nonconformist. Bless her little noodly heart.
