Originally posted by "BKLYNMIKE" post=153885Finally happy with my 16 houses. By the time I was done I'd learned a lot about what worked and what didn't so redid a couple. Glad I did them before checking out the ones posted, I would have been stymied with many new ideas.
when you make them into a circle. Love the colors. Nice brown tone for the tree trunks. HelenW

Some of you maybe considering doing some decorative stitching in the windows or doors of houses 1 and 2. Or maybe a cat or dog in front of the house. I always do as
much decorative stitching as possible before assembling the quilt because it is do much easy to maneuver under the needle when it is small. I decided to go whole cloth,
60 percent, raw edge applique. I build my houses on parchment paper, and do the inside roof line, the window and door so when I actually put them on the whole cloth, it will
just be the outline of the house to stitch. I use the parchment paper i build on as the stabilizer for the stitching and then just tear away after interior stitching is done. Just
throwing out some tips on my technique. HelenW

Density is important. Not too dense is best, but you could still have a lot of fun. You might make a sample and try it out to see what happens.
You can really give some character to it if you personalize it. HelenW

Completed my 16 houses for the first month, trying for a scrappy look. I was able to use mostly scraps from my last completed project (Jacqueline de Jonge’s Enchanting Stars), and I will be shopping my Kaffe Fassett Collective stash as we go forward. My background fabric is White Noise by Art Gallery. I decided I need a small design wall so that I could see the completed houses and make it easier to choose fabrics as I made each new house.
I’m really enjoying this BOM...love working with lots of colors! I’m looking forward to the new website, as I’m having beginner’s cramps getting used to the forum. Really appreciate all the work that goes into managing a BOM - big thank you to Barbara!

I love this idea. I’m from Uk too and may add a few gaps to mine. Thanks for the inspiration.
