Cleaned up this morning and sewed this afternoon. I put the border on the rail fence quilt I am doing and I really like it. I will definitely use this again. It goes together quick and I love the way it looks.
I finished the house I started the other day. I borrowed this idea from Sarah at House of Krom. Now I need some suggestions. I was thinking maybe strong primary and secondary colors for the roof but I can't quite decide. What about sashing? I like the blue for the background but maybe a soft yellow would work too. I really love making houses and these simple ones are quick.
I have plenty of novelty prints to use for the houses. I notice that Sarah used prints for the house and the roof.
Ok, here is Stanley. Doesn't he look comfortable? A beautiful day, laying in the flowers, what more could a cat want.

I love your rail fence. . . great fabric choices for it. The dots are too cute. That's a happy quilt. . . nice job!
Stanley looks pretty happy there!
I love the colours in your rail fence quilt and the dotty fabric is great!
For the house blocks, I think I prefer 1 over 2, possibly because the house shape is clearer when the roof fabric hasn't got a big print. I have no idea about sashing. I've never used it, but then I've only made 3 quilts so far! How about making more blocks and then taking pics of them together without sashing and see what you think?
Cool houses! I think I would go for the strong primary and secondary colours for the roofs and
bright sashings as well to make the lovely light blue (and/or soft yellow) backgrounds stand out.
....OK.....LOL...now how do you think Stanley feels about being
'plastered' A-L-L over blogland??
Does he know he will be famous now?
He will be know far and wide!!!
As for your little houses...if you use the blue for your house back-
ground...then use the yellow for your sashing...or vice versa. I like to mix printed fabrics for both roof and house too, but I think one with a solid roof/house
body thrown in there somewhere would add interest too!!
Yeah for your rail fence...I like the colors you put together!!
Here's a great book you should read, Chosen by a Horse. That's all I'm going to say about it!
