WIP Quilt Village Houses Top


I have assembled the 110 house blocks. 
The top measures  50 inches x 71.5 inches. 
I am going to add some type of border but I can't come up with anything just yet that inspires me other than a plain white 4 inch border all around.   I think that will look just fine but I am going to hold off for a while to see if anything else occurs to me. 
Maybe a small white border and then some blocks of trees all around finished off with another small white border.  I think I will sleep on it.
Happy stitching days.

Crochet and Quilt WIPS


I made 20 more house blocks for a total of 110.  They are 10 houses wide for 11 rows.
I stopped pressing the roof seam until I know how they will be next to each other so I can nest the seams when I sew them together in rows.  I am still undecided about how to put borders on this and I really must stop trying to get the perfect arrangement since this is so very scrappy.


I couldn't stop thinking about the Daisy Garden afghan so there was nothing to do but start working on it.  This is a free pattern which can be found here
I am using Simply Soft yarn in white, green and yellow.  I am using a G hook so my squares will be smaller than the pattern.  I am guessing I have enough yarn to make extra squares.

Have fun stitching.
