I started making house blocks in March as we all started to quarantine at home. I made one each day, and put 68 into a wall hanging when our state started to re-open. However, I was still enjoying making the little blocks (3" x 5" finished), and kept making one daily. I now have a pile of little houses in my sewing room and am playing with different ways to use them. My guild decided to have a virtual challenge this year with houses as the theme. I used some of my house blocks to make a bright wall hanging to share at our virtual guild meeting next week.
The wall hanging measures 38" x 38". My corner houses were inspired by the Dresden Neighborhood pattern by Kim Lapacek.
The house fabrics remind me of past projects and what I was working on that day.
I found just enough of a pink and orange stripe for the bias binding.
I had fun using lots of bright fabrics and quilted clouds and wind swirls in the outer purple border. Everything came from my stash except for one yard of Kona purple.
