Hillside Houses QAL Block One

Woo Hoo! I finished Block One of the Hillside Houses QAL. The photo is not true colors. It's cloudy here--maybe that's why. This is a much more contemporary quilt than I usually make. Maybe it will sell-lol.

The house looks gray but it's blue and the roof is gray not brown. This block is HUGE so the quilt is going to be really big. She's offering 3 sizes and I'm doing the largest. If you want to check it out (it's free), I have a button on the side bar of the blog that will take you to her website. You should see all the beautiful blocks people are doing. There are five of the block patterns available now and I think there are 12 total. I'm also working on the yellow basket quilt that is taking SO LONG to finish. I've marked the border and started quilting that then there's just the binding. I have so much time in this quilt....sigh.... So what are you guys up to? Are you doing any quilt alongs? Which ones? I hope you're having a happy Thursday! XO from Bev

Jacqueline Frances said...: Hi there Bev,
I always enjoy seeing what you are up to!
Just thought I would let you know that I am having a QAL on my blog! It is called the Country Village QAL and there is only block(which I designed!), but you make 25 of them. With the 25 blocks and some borders, you will have a queen-sized quilt…the blocks finish at 15" x 15"…nice and big!
Anyway, I thought I would give you my blog address so you can check it out. I have just posted Part 3 and all parts are under the Country Village QAL tab. I am not computer-skilled enough to make up a fancy button…
Quilty Huggs,

Carole~Quilter on the hill said...: I love this house block, the yellow fabric for the windows makes it looks like the lights are on. I was working on Karen's (Faeries & Fibres) Value Proposition Quilt QAL and hoping to get back to it soon.; May 15, 2015 at 12:49 AM

To All My Dogs Who Have Gone On Before Me

An Important Personal Message

My dear friends - Have you noticed that the world seems to be getting more and more evil and corrupt? Have you ever wondered, assuming that Revelations is true, where we are time-wise and what will happen in the last days? At the bottom of this page, there is a 7 minute video that has no narration, just Bible facts about the sequence of events and where we might be. Of course, some of you won't think this is important, some of you might look at the video to see what the Bible does say and some of you may be offended and unfollow me. I personally believe that time is short. We are at 30 seconds to midnight. Things are coming this year that will affect the USA. Watch or not. I mean no offense. If I believe there is something to warn you about and I don't do it, I will be held accountable. I care about what happens to all of us. In love!
