Ohhh you have me intrigued now Melissa, you will have to post the fabrics so I can see what I look like tee hee!!!!

That is beautiful. I know what you mean about it being kind of sad to finish. It becomes an old friend as you work on it. It also made me kind of sad when I read the picture heading saying last photo. I'd love to see a picture of each block. That is really a gorgeous quilt. You really are a very talented artist.

Thank you so much for sharing these pictures with us.

Ok here they are. The picture of the pattern came out kind of blurry but the others I took had a glare from the flash

Hmm now after looking at the pattern again, Please dont think I am comparing you to a house!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Mel...my rear end is kinda spreading abit nowadays...too much sitting at the machine and less working out on the land l- we have a saying like the back end of a bus lol!!

I think your fabrics are gorgeous and the pattern is adorable, I LOVE applique and that pattern is so cottagy (Sp) do you understand what I mean by that term, in U.K. we have tiny little cottages with roses around the door...it just reminds me of them (sigh.... :D )

Edit: I just took another look and I used to live it a little house JUST like the house in the middle top...wow!! :D

:lol: I think we can just call it 'Quilters Butt" Mine has been spreading too!!!!!
I know what you mean by cottagy (sp?) A lot of your quilts, I think, have the cottage feel, I think thats why this makes me think of you or I could just be a little weird!!!! :lol:

The houses are actually pieced but they do have elements of applique on them.
