Hello and happy Wednesday! Today is the day I get to share my project from the new book I Love House Blocks. I had a lot of fun making this quilt a little over a year ago with our Desert Bloom fabric collection.
Now that I have Creekside fabric, I'm seriously considering making this again! My quilter Nathel did a beautiful job of customizing the quilting and added a lot of fun elements to the quilt!
And, there are 13 other fun projects included in the book which features 13 different designers. There are several projects I want to make (I really do love house blocks)!
My quilt is a great size for a wall hanging...and there are several other wall hanging sized projects along with lap-size and larger quilts.
One of my cute little houses made the back cover...so fun! I highly recommend Block-Buster Quilts - I Love House Blocks: 14 Quilts from an All-Time Favorite Block
! Happy house block sewing!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

So...I thought a round-up post of my favorite ideas and tips on the topic of
