I See Red

I haven't participated in Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2015 for awhile.  The rainbow color for July is Red.  Mina at Kinda Quilty has inspired me to make more house blocks.  Last year I made some houses but I wasn't sure how I would finish them into a quilt.  Thanks to seeing Mina's house quilt I am determined to make a house quilt.
I now have 24 house blocks and need at least that many more.  Cutting more house blocks will be on my to do list.

I did have fun making this crayon holder.  The pattern is simple.  Thanks Sharon for the inspiration to make them.  I will make more for gifts.

I hope everyone has a Happy Fourth of July.

  3. What cute house blocks. Bonnie Hunter has a nice setting idea for the same block, it is on the free pattern tab of her blog: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/happy-scrappy-houses.html
    It might be worth taking a look when you collect together enough houses for a neighborhood.
