The other photo is the beginning of house number 1 from the Home Sweet Home book by Barb Adams and Alma Allen. I've seen this quilt on other blogs and love it. I bought most of the fabrics in Shipshewana, and I like them. I know the book said to cut the background roughly 16 x 20, but it just looks huge to me. So I think this block is going to stay on my design wall for awhile until I decide what to do about it.
My laptop is on life support for the time being. I think I clicked yes in a dialog box where I really meant no. So I'm writing this post from my phone. This is a first for me, and I hope it comes through ok.
Thanks to Judy L. at www.patchworktimes.com for hosting design wall Monday.
I hope you are all busy stitching today. Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Dear LuAnn,
ReplyDeletegreat blocks you're showing on your design wall.
I love 'Home sweet Home'. I've had a look by Amazone, but the book isn't there to buy.
It's nice to post with the phone. Good luck with your laptop.
Have a nice and creative day in your sewing room.
Take care
