One of my favorites...


Do you have this book? If you like houses, you must look into 'Home Sweet Home' by Deborah Harding and Laura Fisher.
The blocks in this quilt are only 4 inches square. Click on the picture to see the close up. 

    

 My little house is two and a half inches tall.
  Imagine an entire village out of little houses made of sticks and stones!


 Are you inspired?


 How many baskets of scraps will this take?

If you haven't been here, you don't know what you are missing out!

    I like the look of that book. Your little house is so sweet. 2 and a half inches is tiny!! Inspired? Yes! I might have to try a teeny tiny house.

    I'm going to have to look up this book! I think I'd enlarge the blocks, though. That's a LOT of work for one quilt. Oops, I mean a LOT of fun!

    I love this book too and have often pondered making a quilt inspired by the cover quilt. Unlike Nifty, I LOVE the small size of it, and your cute little house.

    that quilt is fabulous!! what fun to give that a whirl 15 minutes at a time, not only how many baskets of scraps but how many 15 minutes?

    I like the sound of the book and I hadn't even known about it. I'm amazed at your teeny tiny house, it's adorable.

    I recognize that cover. I believe that's one of the books I lusted after back before I learned that really nice books like that one make me so ill. Color me frustrated :-P
