I’m back with another fun finish to share, my contribution to the “Blockbuster Series” of quilt books – I Love House Blocks.
My quilt is shown on the cover and I made it from a fun bundle of Pat Sloan’s fabric from Moda.
I made the house centers log cabin style and added a quick and easy paper pieced rooftop. I love adding lots of negative space (background) to my quilts so I can show off some fun quilting. Because I was on a deadline I quilted this one with simple swirls and wavy lines in a light gray Aurifil thread from my neutrals collection.
My Hometown – such a fun quick and easy quilt to make!
The book includes a total of 14 fun house themed quilts which you can view here.

Never made one. The book looks intriguing.
I have yet to make one house theme quilt but it is definitely in my bucket list. LOL
Do bird houses count?
I made a quilt with a house block on it. We were encouraged to make it personal so I added a wreath above the door knob as I have a wreath on my front door. It was fun and I really like your pattern as it’s very different from the standard house block quilts. Thanks for the giveaway.
House quilts are a particular favorite of mine, I’ve made several and have a large collection of patterns and ideas for more.
I just made a small Christmas wall hanging years ago, that has two houses on it. I gave it to my sister-in-law, and bless her heart, it hangs on her wall Year round!
One of my first miniquilts was a house one – loved it!
I have made a house themed quilt when our guild had a show themed”Home Sweet Quilted Home”. Homes were also on our show quilt. Very fun!

Never made a house themed quilt, but it has been a consideration many times when in need of a baby quilt. Thanks for a great giveaway.
I bid on and won a group of about 25 house blocks of different sizes and designs. They were created by different people throughout the country and each block has the makers name/location attached to it. I know I want to add embroidery but haven’t begun to work out how to put them together yet. It may end up being more than one quilt!
A house quilt has long been on my to do list. Thanks so much for sharing. Looks like a great book

My first was from Freddy Moran. I’ve made at least 2 of hers, plus her blocks in other quilts–just unearthed some old ones and putting together. Have made others align the way. Last was part of an “ugly fabric exchange challenge”–made a traditional house and an African hut.
I had the pleasure o

Hi, I have never made a house block….it is something I would love to do and this might be the chance for me to try it. I just have such a hard time making up my mind which one to try.
I made a school house quilt years ago. I still have it and love it. Our group has made a house quilt as a charity quilt. They are fun to do and turn out really well. Time to make a new one.
