a new work in progress


...as of this morning.

The inspiration quilt is here. Isn't that an absolutely incredible quilt?
I have a good excuse, though....September is my month for the Sew Connected Quilting Group. And I thought it only kind to do a test block before subjecting my fellow quilters to making blocks for me. :) I am so excited for this quilt!!!!

  48. I'm going to have to try a tiny little village too. This is so cute. . .and the quilt is adorable.

  49. I love this block and cannot wait to your finished quilt.

    That inspiration quilt is adorable -- I love house quilts -- I've seen a few that are just to die for. This one is so unqique -- love the barn block! How cute is that?

    I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with this one. Do you plan to incorporate other things - I bet it stirred up lots of ideas. Little single flower blocks mixed in would be cute too.

    Good luck and have fun with it.

  50. Oh, that inspiration quilt is so cool. Quilters never fail to amaze me - I love the different directions that you all take the craft to. Can't wait to see where your quilt goes!

    ReplyDelete
  51. That is just too cute! The inspiration quilt is fantastic! I love quilts where the actual quilting is the "star".

    ReplyDelete
  52. cute! that is all I can say :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. Oh. My. Gosh. Now I'm going to have that little house in my head for a week. You always find THE. BEST. Quilts!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I especially love the trees in amongst the houses in your inspiration quilt! Cute!

    ReplyDelete
  55. GREAT idea! Can't wait to see how it turns out!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Thank you for the inspiration - that quilt is gorgeous and way worth copying:) I love your first little block!

    ReplyDelete
  57. This is AWESOME! I cannot wait to see how this turns out as a quilt. I think if you enlarged the pattern - the single block could be a really cool top all by itself. I might try that - thanks for the inspiration!
