This is the fabric that I have been using for my background.
It reminded me of van Gogh sky. The swirls are blue/grey and I think I will use those colours in the Mariners Compass.
I wanted something to look like sky and this fitted the bill.
I have 2 houses to finish today and then wait anxiously for the February Block.

This fabric is part of Marcia Derse's Field Guide to Art History 101, but not the one used in the kit. I like the fabric in the kit better because it has more negative space. Fabric. com had the version I got, but sold out. They stated on website they should be getting more in. My fear is it may end up "overpowering" the houses, so I shall see as I do more houses.

I'm way behind as I'm still toying with fabric choices. I think I'm probably going to go with this Libs Elliott print from her Stealth collection. Now I need to decide whether to opt for Oakshott cottons for the houses or the easier option of some solids. It's terrible being paralysed by indecision lol :unsure:

Be sure to think ahead to your borders. You might want to cut them out of the dark, so you don't use it all up and you would have a patchy looking border.

Helen W, I wish I knew how wide the border strips are so that I can cut those and have long unpieced strips. I'm using ombre and will use the darkest for the border. I'm going to go ahead and cut the border strips at 6 inches. I will have some space to do a nice quilting design on the border.

I am using sky fabric for the background. I tried to do it in one piece , using a Y seam but I think the roof angle is too acute. Using two pieces in the background disrupts the clouds. Any tips?
