A second house quilt from leftover pieces

Back on Mar 17/2023, I posted about a scrappy houses quilt, that I finished.  I just kept cutting and cutting.  I believe I still have enough pieces to make another entire quilt.....lol.  This was in a container that I used to keep beside my machine to use as leader/enders, but got put away for some reason.  Maybe because I had enough to do the first quilt, that I figured I'd take a break from them.  Either way, in my effort to clear out things around here, I pulled the pieces out and added them to a project container to be worked on. 


I'm off work today and it so happens to be the sew and chat day with the HHQG (Halton Hills Quilters' Guild).  I haven't been to one yet, as I was usually working.  So I've decided to go today and hang out with some of the guild members to sew for the day.  Fun!!  Guess what I'm bringing to work on?  You guessed it!  I am bringing my houses to see if I can make a dent in the construction of this quilt.  I'll also be bringing some 2 1/2" plaid squares, for another quilt to use as my leader/ender, but more on that one in another post.  

As for this one, I will make all those little kitted houses, then I'll cut out some parts to make trees and the grass.  For this quilt, I am also going to use up the "neighborhood" line of fabric that I have, for the borders, backing, and binding.  That ought to be cute!

I'm off to go have some relaxing time with friends, as we sew and chat.....pun intended.....lol.

Take care everyone and don't forget to take some time for yourself.
