    Since my design wall is already full, I had better post my center and tall buildings now, before tall building #4!

      What a great idea using the black fabric with the stars. I have used 3 different background fabrics too, however, you have a very creative splash going on there!

    Is there a pattern coming for the 4 houses that you referred to north, south, east, west?

      Little Houses in the City is the October pattern. In mid-July I provided the design area for those who plan to personalize the Little House.

          Renee, Love the way you used colored fabrics for the roads. Gives a whole different look in a good way. Great color palette.

        My buildings have outgrown my design space so I had to overlap but you get the idea. Love how the colors are coming together.

          Color My Flannel World at 60% size. This has been such a fun pattern. Even though mine does not look at all like the original,
          I have so enjoyed looking at everyone's progress. The creativity has been so inspiring. Took time out to do Ricky's Kaleidoscope
          that started blooming hexagon flowers before I got done. Not sure if I will put anything in the corners of CMW or leave them blank for quilting. Might just put deer in bottom right and a bear family in bottom left. HelenW

            Your quilts are so very creative and stunning. They draw me in and my eye travels throughout the entirety of each top.

            So beautiful, Helen! Your colors are so rich against the background and the details are all wonderful. Can’t wait to see how you finish this. Thank you for all your insightful guidance to me and others. You are a rock star!

              I am done with Tall Buildings #4. I am glad this is the last set because, in truth, I was getting a bit bored with these buildings. I do not have a design wall so the quilt is on the floor. The photo is a bit skewed.

                  Your piano keys border (is that the correct term?) reminds me of what I have in mind for my quilt. I was thinking about adding pennies on it and perhaps a vine with leaves. Time will tell. Thanks for sharing!

                Tall buildings all done. Waiting now for the little houses in the city. Still thinking about colours for the little houses in the city. Roll on October.

                    My tall buildings are done and sewn into corner units.

                    Comment


                      Finished the tall buildings and got the sets of 4 sewn together. I am so excited to get the remaining blocks and put it all together! Had to lay it out on the floor.
