Finished the 2nd houses quilt

Back in September I finished this quilt and just needed to quilt it and add the binding.  I did it not long after that, but kept forgetting to get pictures to post about it.  This is the 2nd houses quilt.  The first houses quilt was done back in March/2023 and the post is called, A scrappy houses quilt, if you're interested in reading about it.  This one is even cuter!!  

I love the borders on this quilt.  It was a piece of yardage that had several rows of houses with the houses sitting in a row across the width of fabric.  So, needless to say, I have more rows, just slightly shorter with more houses.  These rows contained mostly the retail/commercial side of things and the slightly shorter rows are primarily the residential side of things.  You'll likely see them in the next/3rd houses quilt.....lol.....as there are a lot more than I thought already cut out and ready to make.....lol.  Even the green border has huts all jumbled together across the with of fabric, though this green was part of another fabric line.  Do you see them?

The backing fabric for this quilt was also part of this neighbourhood fabric line, as well as the stripped binding.  This line of fabric came out during a summer quilting shop hop a few years back, at least.  It was the theme at the time.  The backing is also cute.  The scene is of the roads that would have been travelled during the shop hop and the buildings are all quilt related with a play on quilting words.

Here is a close up of the backing.  Can you see the top blue spot is called Binding Cove, and the bottom one is Lake Rotary....lol.  Then you have Sew Timeless Bend, Featherweight Freeway and Twisted Thread Turnpike for the roads.  You have signs that read Quilt With Me, Sew Busy and Holy Scrap!  Plus there are a lot of sewing accessories and little critters too, and much more!!

I think that even though this quilt is being donated to Project Linus, the adults of the children will equally have fun playing "I Spy" with the border fabric and the backing fabric.  I spot a possum on the grass by the "Holy Scraps!" sigh.....do you see it?   Fun, fun, fun!!!

Take care everyone.
