Do you remember that Pete Seeger song from way back? I made this little quilt with my scraps of Christmas fabrics. I took the idea from a large quilt on The Quilt Room website. I got out the squared paper and figured out how it went, or something similar. All the houses are different.

Lovely!
I have done house quilts but never on an angle like that. I like it.

This is like the Pete Seeger song but nothing "tacky-tacky" about your houses. Adorable, Kathryn!

Love your quilt, Kathryn. Nothing ticky-tacky or all the same about those houses!
Are we showing our age that we remember the song???

I've just googled it....1963!
Can it really be that long ago?

I'm happy to see it at last! I love house quilts and I liked that song a lot, too.

I would have thought the song was older... but... here's some info about it... Pete may have sung it, but he didn't write it

Love the quilt, Kathryn.
What size it it?
Oddly I don't remember ever hearing the song
about the houses made of tick tacky. LOL
