Pretty Little Quilts started a free quilt-along for Hillside Houses back in May, I think. I loved the quilt and have a full bin of solids so decided to participate. I actually finished my top not long after the last block was posted on June 10! A first for me. :)
This was my first row.
Then the next row:
Isn't it cool how they interlock? The pattern has 3 sizes (throw, wall or mini) and I made the throw. That made for big pieces to work with and big blocks......which for me meant easy and fast.
Here's my finished top:
I love it!!!!!
I have no idea what to tell my quilter to do for the quilting. Any ideas?
There have been some fun variations being made that I've seen on Instagram. One of my favorites is a Christmas village with Christmas prints for the houses, white for the roofs and fussy cuts in the windows. Creative.
You can find all the blocks here if you want to make some houses yourself!

I love it! I think you may have just started me (again) on a new ufo :)
I do like how the houses all nest together. "It takes a village..."
How fun to also do a Christmas village, or a Halloween or Easter or OOPS there I go with all the ideas and yet I do not quilt. Sunshine Smiles...
I seriously love this quilt! Your colour choice is spot-on! Such a fun design! Thanks for the links too- off to check out some more of them!
Me again.... I was wondering what the tag was on IG for these blocks/quilts? I'd love to see some more!
Very Cute in the solid fabrics. I like the idea of using Christmas Fabrics and fussy cutting the windows. Tempting, very Tempting...
Your quilt turned out great! They are really fun to sew aren't they? Big and easy. My kind of sewing : )
