WOW Wednesday!

I am so pleased to say that I finished one more house.  I only have one left.  I thought I would NEVER get here.  It has been a slow process on a quilt that I thought was done in February.

I left out a window in the middle and a tree.  I am taking short cuts to save time.  It looks ok, but on the last house I won't do that.  

The roofs are white to depict a snowy winter village.








I also did outline quilting yesterday and will hopefully have quilting photos to show soon.  The quilt has a dark brown back and a lot of cream in the front.  I always match the thread with the bobbin, so it is really showing on the back - every single stitch.  I have to take my time and try to have clean lines because it really shows.

Here is a glimpse of the back and the front so far.  I used ruler work in the border, but free handed the other following the lines in the piecing.  I will do a lot of filling in with patterns once I get it all outlined.







This is the third quilt I have quilted with this same pattern since January.  I can't quilt them the same because one had a woodsy theme, one was a happy bright flower theme, and this one is more subdued and country.








I am linking up with Let's Bee Social, Esther's WOW, and Wednesday Weight Loss.

  2. Your quilting is so wonderful! I can't wait to see your finished quilt tops at a future Wednesday Wait Loss. Those paper pieced houses are beautiful, and look so good together!
