One Week - Three Blocks!

These little house blocks are fun to make! As you can see, I have made a couple of sizes and expect to make more. The six inch blocks are quite simple after making the three inch. I plan to mix and match them in my quilt. Hey, at three a week - I could still make 156! 
The most fun part is not thinking too hard on the fabrics. Now you can see I did put up some brick fabric for a house and found a quilter for the window, but mostly I'm just grabbing scraps, quickly making decisions and sewing. Improvisational color selection. For more houses, go to Building Houses from Scraps.

What Was I Thinking?

So yesterday I drew up my House Block in EQ7, printed out four to a page for paper piecing and began sewing. Hmmm, this is a tiny block!! I may have to rethink this size. Possibly four inch or even five inch would work better for me. Cute, though!
