    Adorable and so colorful and looks like it is meant for your front porch. Yes-that would be an absolute perfect gift for your RE agent.

    I love it! Is it ok if I send a photo of it to Kim (the designer)? She’s a friend of mine and loves to see what people make with it.

    I love how you used grunge fabric. And I love the spiky spokes you added. It gives it such a modern look. I’ve made several myself. And I thought of that idea too of making them for different holidays or seasons. Fun! My favorite so far that I’ve done is a Halloween one.

    Lori....absolutely send a photo to Kim. There are so many different patterns for this and since I didn't use a pattern to make mine, I did not credit a specific designer.

    The fabric actually isn't grunge though it looks like it. I used chambray tonals fabric....a line from Connecting threads.

    Thank you for the lovely comments everyone! Such a fun project!

One can certainly go crazy with adding fun stuff to your neighborhood like trees, floral's, flags etc..... I did make a church but limited the fun embellishment because I wanted the color wheel to be primary focus. However, wouldn't it be fun to make 4 different neighborhoods representing each season and make a quilt? Or using "sky" background fabric. The ideas are endless. This is 24" squared and is mostly a wall hanging but I made this into a giant pillow for my front entry bench. I ordered a 24" pillow form so it was easy enough to do a pocket pillow. Anywhoooo..applique is turned edge and machine sewn using monofilliment clear and smoke colors from Superior Threads. I'm going to make another one as a gift for my real estate agent....when he sells my house. Lol!! Perfect gift for a real estate agent don't you think?
    Very cool! I have never seen that but I love it!

    That is sew cute. I can see it in a larger version as the center of a quilt for the bed or an a larger throw. Your colors and fabrics compliment the piece perfectly.
