I just bet... you can easily guess... what these Kona cotton solids are for...
More Hillside Houses....
The Hillside Houses quilt along is run by Cristina of Pretty Little Quilts.
This is my FIRST experience following a pattern designed by someone other than myself. It's a strange feeling to pick up a pattern and start from the beginning. But I am enjoying this Quilt Along immensely. It's a lovely way to spend some time in the sewing room. Very relaxing and a lot of FUN!
Last week I showed you my first block...
And today I am happy to show you my finished 2nd block....
And my 3rd block....

ReplyDeletelove the house blocks but they do take some planning for color, no? I am not so good with planning... but I want to make them too. I guess you must color in your plan before even starting right? LeeAnna
