Actually, it says street, not sweet, and it is not a mistake. I put together this little quilt for church friends who are moving away. The church is named after its location on, you guessed it, Home Street.
This photo is a bit dark, but I think you can see the batiks and hand dyes used to make the letters and houses. I've put a narrow scrappy border around the whole thing, and will bind it in black.
The fun part is it incorporates letters from a couple of previous projects -- the orange E's are from the label in the posting below when I got my background and letter colours mixed up, and that dark R was rejected from my To Be quilt. And the houses are Bonnie's
happy scrappy houses.

What a great idea! I love your houses, and the letters are great. I'd love a going-away gift like that - I hope your friends do too! Good job!
I think I see some purple letter in this quilt. Way to go, girl. I like the way you put it together, and original work, too. You are getting so good! Quilt on!
