It was one of those quilts where you make one block and then you just want to make another in different fabrics. I love those! Never get bored!
I found this wonderful house print fabric at one of our local shops - Janie lou. The colors were perfect and I bought enough to do a vertical strip along with a coordinating green on each side.
In the white background I quilted flowers since I have flowers behind my own house. After several complicated scenarios on how to quilt the houses themselves, I remembered what Camille had written in my autographed copy of the book...
So I decided to "Keep it Simple!" and did straight lines 1" apart on the blocks. Easy!
And finally it got a gray striped binding. This piece from Little Red Riding Hood is simply a wonderful binding piece. A good one to stock up on!
Oh, those houses are SO cute!! I love how you quilted it too - keeping it simple. :)
