It's a Home!

Being that this is a small kind of quilt, I wasted little time in quilting it up!  I've enjoyed constructing each tiny house I've made and when I decided to make a larger version I knew part of the fun was going to be in the quilting.
HOME
16" x 16"
Not every section was touched with thread!  Some was left to stand on its own and I didn't feel the need to get completely crazy with the quilting!

I used straight lines for the siding and border.  The roof is a grid made up of rectangles to resemble shingles.

The sky is a swirly something or another!  I honestly don't know what you can the design, but it works!  Stippling was placed around the border of hearts and a straight line/pebble design completes the inside border. 

The backing fabric was the perfect find in my stash to complete the 'picture'!  I almost feel like I should have used some of this fabric for the inside of the windows...it got me thinking!

Total whimsy with this one!  I enjoy playing around with fabric options and of course, paper piecing always makes me happy!

    This is too cute! Love the backing. The quilting is perfect for this little quilt and leaving some areas untouched lets them stand out. Once again you have a winner! sew.likely

      Since I’ve yet to find inspiration or the mojo to make something new or larger, I was able to muster just enough to finish this mini!

    This is adorable, Jayne! Where did you find that fabric that says”greet each day with a song?” Was it a recent purchase or from your stash?
