For many years now I have gone on vacation with my best gal pals! Its one of the highlights of my year.
I go with great intentions of finishing lots of quilts but never accomplish all I think I will! This year I finished two. I already showed the Round and Round quilt on this post. Easy with loads of negative space.
Next up is Suburbs (pattern on sale here) by Cluck Cluck Sew.
This was a fun quilt to sew. I cut into my stash of Denyse Schmidt fabrics for the houses.
I used some Botanics Stem Ash by Carolyn Friedlander for my background. I didn't pay attention to it being a directional print when I bought it so I did have to spend extra time cutting it out so all the trees would be upright! Totally would have bugged me if they went every which way.
I'm thinking of doing this quilt again but having each house have a solid door so I can embroider little surprises in some....like a cat or flower,etc.
I'm linking up over at Sew Fresh Quilts for Let's Bee Social.
And WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.

I love the colors and patterns on this quilt. And the negative space between houses. Lovely!
Love the Round and Round quilt, Cindy. But the Suburbs is my fave! I love house quilts! Looks great with the sun shining through it. And cute right next to the bird house! Glad you had a wonderful time with your friends AND were sew productive!

Love the pattern.. or lack thereof, of the blocks!!. Nice!!
I like the way you have set out the houses and spaces, and with unusual fabrics.
Someday I hope to do a house quilt, & I love this one. Nice work!!
Oh, I have this pattern but haven't got to it yet. Yours is really cute. I like your fabric choices very much.
