Playing with houses today.....

I 'found' those house blocks I made a few years ago while picking up the sewing room. Wednesday while on the phone with Mom - after working and before kid pickup/gymnastics/sams club run I pulled framing fabrics for the rest of the houses. I think I had about 15 of the 42 done before I started today.
Framing time..... uphill and downhills..... I think I finally figured them out! I used 3x11 for mine.

So nice to move along a project once in a while! These just need to get trimmed down and then sewn together into a top. I used the free pattern over at Quiltville - Scrappy Houses. I need to decide if I sash the houses or leave them like this..... thoughts?

I'll link this up Saturday with the RSC Challenge..... since I started the houses a few years ago with that challenge and there are lots of red chimneys!

I would leave them without sashing. I love the wonkiness.

I LOVE your houses. Especially the red chimneys. I've made two of those quilts. I used 3"x 11" sashing, too. Looking forward to seeing your finished quilt!

I like it just like you have it without the sashing. Cute!

I like it as is, but if you need it bigger you could add a sashing and a border or two.

These houses are adorable! And so wonderfully scrappy! It looks great with the blocks set side to side.
Cheers,

That is so much fun! I like the houses without additional sashing, too, but no matter what you decide, they will make a great quilt!

People have put them together in all different ways. They are all cute! Lots of RED in your blocks. Glad you found them and shared with the RSC Quilters!

What fun uphill and downhill house blocks! That is going to be a favorite quilt for someone I am sure.
