Tiny Houses: Nos. 5 & 6


While the yard crew is working diligently to cut back all the over-grown whatevers, I made two more tiny houses.


Even with the 1800's repro fabrics, the houses are still wonky!


One of the issues when working on a long-term project with lots and lots of blocks is:  Where are you going to keep them so they won't get messed up or lost?   

The answer was provided by blogging buddy Selina of Selina Quilts (link)!


Can you guess what Selina uses?




Yes!  A lettuce box....  sheer genius, imho!   Thanks for the great tip, Selina!!!

Growing a Village of Tiny Houses


Yesterday was my first day since I got off work that I had nothing I had to do and nowhere I had to go.   It was nice!

 
There are six different tiny house paper-piecing pattern and I decided to do one of each in 1800's repro fabrics.



There are so many variations of color/fabric placement, I think I could make these all in the 1800's repros and never make the same tiny house twice.


While I don't believe that paper-piecing will become a favorite or a specialty, I do like making these tiny houses.
