In 2010 we did a series called "Our Town", featuring quilts with schoolhouses, homes, and entire villages. Methods of construction ranged from log cabin to stained glass, traditional and foundation piecing, and appliqué. As a Realtor would say: We hope you see some houses you like !

I love house quilts! I have one of my own from a bee that "only" needs quilting to be finished. Must move that up the list.
