Never did anything like this before, but it sounds like to much fun to pass up.
I'm going to give it a try, because if you don't try something new, how will you ever learn.

For those of you asking about how much fabric, here's an example. I did this in EQ7 using 12 different houses with 2" sashing and border to give a rough idea. EQ also over-estimates the fabric, in my experience.
The only thing that I'd probably want to keep consistent is the sky/background. If all the houses are different there would be very little of each fabric needed.

I love using EQ. I especially like that I can import the fabrics. You can either scan in your fabric or there are a lot of manufacturers that provide EQ library files for each collection, like Moda and Connecting Threads. If I buy a FQ set or something I download the file for it and I can design with the actual fabrics.
Plus, Electric Quilt has fabric collections each month to download. I've gone back and downloaded years worth of them.
