There are some pretty awesome quilts being talked about on blogs lately. Recently Cottons 'n Wool challenged herself to make the Country Homecoming Quilt. I fell in love with those primitive houses and had to jump on the band wagon.
I gathered up my homespuns and started on the first block. It looks like I will need to pay a visit to one of my favorite quilt shops, Quilts on Plum Lane, for dark sashing. They have a great selection of homespuns and primitive fabrics.
So what have you been working on this week??

I love the homespuns -- very rustic and cozy! I'm working away on my little black embroidery piece! :)
Oh I don't need another project but I am find these houses irresistible!
Now I am looking for the book :0)....found one to borrow from the library for now.
Happy Sewing
I think your project is wonderful.
Looks like you've been having some fun and I'm so glad to see it :)
I've been working on keeping all the balls in the air...that can be a real trick. I also have to get the binding on the quilt I made for my sister's birthday.
Hugs,

I finished sewing on a binding, sewed a bit of embroidery and yesterday...transplanted a pine tree :-) Today if I can get over being sore, I'm going to sew borders on my double wedding ring quilt top. wish me luck :-)
Love the houses coming together!
Another house block - great!
Looks great with the homespuns! I'm still working on my batik blocks. Thanks for sharing!

LOL I have been having a great debate with myself over those house blocks too! :-)
I like your block...
I do love that quilt! And I really need to get some homespuns. Wish I could go to that shop with you!
Oh I love this block. I would like to do something like that!! I haven't worked on anything lately. Still got the shoulder problems.
What a cute little house block...but such a shame that you have to go out fabric shopping to get more to work with! LOL! Can I come along? :o)
XOXO,

I love this design, too! I bought some of the cutest flannel this week that I think will be nice for a quilt backing! I can't wait to get started on some sewing!
