wonky house blocks

yay - finally made a start on the wonky blocks for the wonky house block swap :)

a few weeks ago I drew up some rough sketches of what I thought they should kinda look like...quite easy really (lol)



and yesterday I pulled some fabric in brights - of course I've added more since !


and I made a start - then had visitors (people not the wildlife !) but finished this one last night - I chose the stars fabric then discovered I didn't have very much so its quite heavily pieced :) but I do like the windows - I think the white strip makes it look like the lights are on with the curtains a little bit open - don't you think !


then today I finished three more...now I don't want to be too picky but I think the window of this one should have been up on the left hand side :) but I do love the dog in the doorway !


so onto the third block - and I discovered I'm hopeless at angles - wish I had taken more interest in geometry at school ! when I added the fabric to the right of the pathway it ended up going the wrong angle so I added a flower bed to the edge of the pathway which fixed it !


and the final one for today - I thought I'd use some teapot fabric but couldn't find anything suitable for the background - after three attempts and lots of unpicking I decided to go plain :)


I'm lovin' the wonky house blocks - they're such fun (sorry about the long post though :)

  2. Your houses look like they were fun to se.! Every one of them is very creative, and I especially like the east-facing chimney. Maybe a real one like that would make it easier for Santa to get into the house. Very cute and uber-creative. Nice work!
