I Spy Houses for Blogger's Quilt Festival


Welcome to the Neighbourhood!
machine pieced and quilted
40 by 40 inches

I'm entering this recent finish in the baby quilt category
of the Fall 2013 Blogger's Quilt Festival.
I know this will be a repeat for my regular readers.

Here you can see the outline and free motion quilting
on the flannel back.


Each house has fun elements peeking out of them
and I tried to use different fabrics for each house.
I even used scrappy greens for the binding.

I included some fun elements, like a sewing room
complete with measuring tapes, zippers,
and a sleepy cat.

And of course the Sesame Street gang wanted to join in the fun

As well as a laundry line of colourful undies
and some fun flip flops.

So fun to see your neighborhood again. I love this quilt! It's so fun, so much for little people to see and find. (grownups too!) Love your little touches of whimsy, and your quilting too. I'm sure this one will be well-loved.
