I am currently working on a quilt of tesselating houses...
It still needs more work - the rows need to be sewn together but this is essentially it. It's not quite this pink - that pink background is actually a grey flannel, so the lavendar sky triangles should be bluer. Still, I'm having a ball making it - keeping all the houses in line with their roofs and eaves has been a puzzle and a challenge to say the least.
The pattern came from Craftsy and had so many errors in it that I found myself re-sewing many parts. If you like it and go to Craftsy and look for it (it's called 'A Rainy Day in Mr. Escher's Neighborhood'), DO look at how half the houses are reversed, and so you need to sew the siding on the wide windows on the opposite side from the directions on those half the houses. A design wall is ESSENTIAL for this quilt!!!
What are YOU working on?
