A Little Less Imagination Required!

Last week I posted my current WIP.  The 'caution' quilt as I like to call it!  (You can catch up here, if you'd like)  I'm pleased to say that I have made progress!  Today it started to come together and that pesky little vision I had is becoming a reality.  

I was hoping to have it finished by now, but Mr. Flu-Bug had other plans for me.  Three days of misery under a pile of quilts!  My daughter was a very attentive nurse...for one day. Then she fled north and deserted me!  Boyfriends always come first or maybe I was a difficult patient!  I'm all better now!

So, back to the quilt.  I had all the individual blocks made prior to getting sick.  This is the inspiration fabric and will be the backing.

Ikea Fabric

My design wall full of lots of fun blocks!  I was getting excited to put this puzzle together after unexpected time away from it.

This morning I had an idea.  I needed to make a house block.  It was so fun putting this house together.  Of couse, I'm not a builder so its a little 'wonky'... in a good way.  It should be  a great focal point, I do believe!

Little House on the Design Wall

With that out of the way, it was time to put this idea to the test and connect the dots.  I arranged all the blocks basically where I wanted them and figured out which blocks would be in the same sections.  This is the fun part!  The puzzle part.  

Each section had 2, 3 or 4 blocks that needed to be assembled using a dark blue fabric. My little drawings were very helpful in a cryptic sort of way.  I could roughly figure out where my blue pieces would be, which ones I should attach first and rough sizes.    

Sections Pieced

The entire bottom third is complete.  Then I ran out of steam for the day.  You can pretty much see where I'm going, right?

One more day and the top will be finished.  The fun part will be over and I get to agonize on how I should quilt it!  Any suggestions?  I certainly could use them!
