House and Garden Quilt

During one of the Edmonton Modern Quilt Guild meeting we looked at some orphan blocks. Everybody could just take them and come up with something new.

I picked the house blocks and took them home where they sat for a while. Then I put them up on my design wall where they stayed for a while. I added the grey strip to imitate a gravel road and waited for inspiration. One day I started this flower quilt and decided to incorporate them.  My dream is to have one day a house that is surrounded by flowers. Right now it is snow instead, sigh.

I am looking forward to finding the right backing and then the never ending question- how to quilt it. I am tired of straight-line quilting. This year I  will try and be more courageous with my quilting. Let’s see how that goes!
