Housey, Housey

I've had this quilt idea in my head for a while. I really fancied lots of little houses and was desperate to use up some of my stash of fabric bits and pieces.

I used this pattern, a simple little house on an eight inch block, just the job.  I did have to make a couple of adjustments. The door/ window /house section comes out wider than 61/2" and also I didn't do the roof in two sections, I just cut 1 piece 21/2" by 6 1/2".

I'm really happy with the block and have worked out that I need 88 of them to create the quilt. I've made 8. So a long way to go then.
