Month 1 -- show your progress here

[Barbara B.]

Please use this TOPIC to share photos of your work in Month 1.

[Dena_Limpede]

I went with colored windows/doors because my house fabric didn't have enough contrast with the background. I'll be doing another one with a darker house and use the background for windows/door because I really like the way Sarah's looks

[Azenath W.]

did you cut as pattern instructs or have the templates?

[Carol G.]

Dena that is super cute. The blues look like colourwerx fabrics that I have.

[Barbara B.]

There are no templates for the cabin block.

[Carol G.]

This cabin is so stinking cute! I didn't realize how small it would be. I'm using my own fabrics. I have the pieces cut for the star points, but am waiting a day or 2 to figure out the stems.

[Margo C.]

Obviously I stretched the striped border, but will live with it!

Month 1

I love your block and so thankful you posted it as I am having trouble understanding the pattern past the borders. Thank you so much!

Final Cabin & sides ready for center

[Ellen L.]

This looks beautiful! I really like how your bias tape matches the border around the house. And the house looks lovely, your color choices really make the house stand out.

My first Quilt Show BOM. I’m excited to get started! (Waiting on the rest of the kit fabric for the stems.)

[Deb B.]

So many cute cabins here already! Month 1 was fun to do. Now the long wait for Month 2!

I really like your dark background, can't wait to see more.

[Jana B.]

Your border is just wonderful..great work on Month 1!

Love love love the plaid!

[Donna M.]

You all are on the ball! My progress so far is to have just identified and sorted all the fabric in the kit!

[Carol G.]

It's not a race! You have all of January. I'm fairly new retired and with no kids or grandkids, the holidays give me lots of time.

Month # 1 finished!

[AmyE]

I'm still trying to decide what fabric to use for the star points. Fabric decisions take longer than the actual sewing!

[brigitte.wieser]

I must confess that I can't throw away even the tiniest piece of fabric. And therefore I have been looking quite a while for an applique quilt to use my tons of white, cream and tan leftovers. And so Homeward Bound was perfekt!
Only because I preferred also an appliqued house in the middle I didn't sew the original one.

[Shannon M.]

The applique house is perfect! I was thinking of doing the same for mine. Thanks for the prompt to go with my heart and change it up a bit.

[Helen W.]

I too changed my house since I was using flannel, I did not want all the bulk from seams on very
small pieces. HelenW

[Susan M.]

I like your background color. I can’t wait to see it when it’s finished.

[brigitte.wieser]

Thank you so much

[Margaret B.]

Darn cute use of bits and pieces of fabric!
