Scraps and Strings: Home sweet home again

Home sweet home again

So I mixed up the houses, threw in a few string blocks and two words of the phrase home sweet home. or maybe there's no place like home. I'm resisting the temptation to shop for the perfect b/w and lime green print to fill in those empty spaces, and turning to the stash instead. I'm thinking of a black/white/lime green piano key border, but I'm open to suggestions.

Janet said...: Great mix of fun houses and colors. Love the combo of B&W with lime green. Resist buying and work with what you have. It makes it challenging but fun. Love the idea of piano keys.; 29 September 2009 at 11:17

Donna said...: It makes me smile.... the phrase that comes to mind with it, for me, given your hunt for fabric to use is "are we home yet?" :-); 29 September 2009 at 18:33

Curious what they'd look like as a small inner border or something. BTW, Are you doing any homework at all??? Read the Psalms blog yesterday. Nice.; 29 September 2009 at 18:48
