    I found this file with at least 50 more house blocks in a few days ago. Then spent another 3 days trying to find the file again. I had forgotten I had these! They are so cute I knew you would want to see more. They are so many I decided to start a new thread and also wanted to tell all you of to watch for my post of the patterns of the "Tropical Quilt" in Part 1 that so many of you loved with the waves and palm trees and beach houses. I'll be posting those patterns on this thread as soon as I can get a chance to do them. Hope you enjoy this one as well!

    What a great collection of house blocks. Thank you for forwarding the inspiration. I'm sure the makers would like a little credit. In a perfect world, all photos we "borrow" from the internet would link back to the original artist.

    I am totally in love with the tiny stuffed houses (#4) - I have a friend who's a realtor, and that would make the perfect gift for her.

    Thanks everybody!! If you read my House Blocks Part 1 you know that I did not make these houses. These are a collection of house blocks done by others that I collect for inspiration purposes and hope you are inspired too! I don't know who the makers are. Some are bloggers. Some are copyrighted but these are for inspiration purposes. If you see something you would like a pattern of, let me know and I will be glad to draw one up for you. Of course, it would be a different size as it would be "my version" of the block however I choose to interpret it. I'm creative enough to not need these blocks at all as I can draw anything I choose and I'm an artist, a florist, an interior decorator, etc. Even though I try many times to tell people I did not do all the blocks they see, they still seem to think I did them all! I appreciate that! This is a "hats off" to all those who did make these blocks!!! They deserve the credit. Now that that's all said, I hope you enjoy looking at this collection of others' blocks and are inspired by a design, a color, a tree, an animal, a sky, a shape or a flower or whatever you are inspired by. So enjoy the pics and be sure and post your creations -- we all would love to see them!! Thanks again everyone!!

    :-D :-D

    Everyone loves #4. Yes, they are stuffed with batting and the quilter made key fobs to match. Let me pull up another photo this quilter did showing all the house blocks together if I can find it. I can't post the pic now, but as soon as I can I will.
