I love these two, a little more detail and larger. Now I have four blocks done.
I usually punch during the day until dinner and then work on my other projects after that, so hopefully it won't take too long to make this, I really want to put it together and use it. Oh, and do you notice that all of the windows lean to the left, lol. I wonder if that is a brain disorder;)
I decided to see what I have in large wool pieces and I found a thin suit weight a friend sent me. I think it will work nicely since it is thin, but still wool. this way I have an idea what size blocks I need to fill in the rest. I will add borders and/or simple wool blocks to fill in, or maybe just scrappy strips, we shall see;) Most of the patterns are from books by Jan patek and friends, the long flower one was in a book by Cheri Ralston.

Those are really darling, Debbie! I especially like the one with the kitty on the roof. As for the windows, I'm thinking it was just the wind. ;)

Great job, Debbie! You are so talented, and patient! Not sure I could do all that hand-stitching.
I love watching the progress on this project. Your wool is beautiful, and I love your design choices. Nice work!
What a beautiful quilt that will be!! I look forward to seeing it when it's finished!
Oooh, it's going to be wonderful! And anything leaning that is handmade, just makes it more "prim" lol. My excuse for everything anymore!
Debbie - this is going to be absolutely beautiful! Can't believe how much you have done already!

beautiful! I regularly follow your blog, as we have many of the same interests, including rugs. Are you going to applique the blocks to a solid backing? super colors--arlyce
I actually thought about appliqueing them to the background and making mistmatched blocks but I think I would rather do that with smaller pieces and a thicker background. This one I will just sew onto the back and maybe try some of those fancy stitches on my machine for the seams.

What an inspiration! I was at a loss for wool projects. Tired of making the same circle penny rugs but not knowing what to make next. I love this idea and I have some great black suit wool in the stash for the background. So creative and not overwhelming! I love it.
