I think I channeled my childhood home, a brown house nestled in the woods of Maine. Ours was more of a ranch than a cabin, but still, the thought is there.

Though this block uses paper piecing for the roof and tree, it's pretty easy to put together. I even give hints on fabric pieces to cut for the tree, which with those angles, can be a bit tricky.

For one block, fat quarters or scraps work great. To save on fabric, I recommend that the sky fabric be a solid. That way, both pieces of a rectangle can be used instead of wasting a triangle set because of a print. The block finishes at 12" x 12", and is available for free until July 3, 2023.

Midweek Makers #386

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

I've had a busy Memorial Day weekend visiting family and friends (LOTS of driving!), leaving little time to quilt. I'll leave all the sharing goodness to those from last week!

Take a look at Karen's hexie quilt progress - impressive! I am always in awe of those quilters that spend the time to make these. They have more patience than I do!

Then there was this lovely top from Donnaleeq,

and also a striking heart quilt top from Bell Creek Quilts - nicely done all!

Now on to this week's party!

Midweek Makers #385

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Here's another client quilt, a very pretty blue and yellow hexie themed top. This one is quilted with Glide's Buttercup yellow and the pantograph Pretty Paisley, which coordinates with some of the paisley fabric in the top. I just love it when a top comes in and goes home so pretty!

Speaking of pretty, did you see the quilts shared at last week's party? So many gorgeous quilts and so hard to choose which to feature - take a look at my favs!

Bell Creek Quilts showed off a pretty scrappy rainbow quilt,

Viridian's Blog shared her Flower Garden quilt top made from feedsack prints,

and Quiltpiecer is thrilled to have her RSC 2022 quilt top done. What a beauty!
