" Dit huis is proper genoeg om gezond te zijn, en stoffig genoeg om gelukkig te zijn."
It started with one little house made inspired by The Little Quilts houses. It's a very fun block to make from scraps.
With four houses I could make a mini quilt..
But sometimes an idea doesn't work.. I couldn't choose how to set them.
Nothing worked i.m.o.
I decided to go for simplicity, four houses together framed by a nice red fabric.
Quilted and almost the binding is done, BUT there is something. I still don't like it. The chimneys are blending in the doors.
So four new houses were easily made..
Yes this is better, just with sashings and cornerstones simple.
8 houses and two mini's further and I finally like it :-)

I love your scrappy houses Lucy! I like the one with the sashing and cornerstones the best. Great Post!
Thanks!
What fun to read about the proces of making the lovely little houses quilt. BTW I could make almost the same picture with entrance door, cupboard and "en suite" doors.
It's really cute!Congratulation for Quiltmania!I really love all your work!
Great choice, Lucy ! your final mini quilt is so cute !
Hi, Lucy, oh it's darling, love the progression and the shirting and indigo sashing.

I think you are right..the LIGHT sashing made the houses float! And both quilts are good for teaching so you can show your students the difference between what light and dark!!
I love them both..whether the chimney goes into the door or not!

Great to show the creative process. What a good place for the lovely house quilt, on the door.
This post made me laugh... I do this all the time.. I just have to change and remake .. but finally Im getting pleased and happy with it...
And I love your houses...:o)
Love it, love it, love it!
I just love "Little Quilts". Your houses are adorable.
Oh very cute. I love your mini scrappy houses. I think the sashing with the cornerstones was the best choice too.
I love your Little Quilts Houses...and agree that the cornerstones set them off the best!
It's perfect. The sashing fades back and all you see left are the tiny houses!
I certainly liked this one!! Why don't you make a pattern book with minis? I think you have a lot of them, designed by yourself?
These happy houses are darling. I am imagining little felt folk who go inside and live their lives. Maybe they quilt for a hobby.
I love your houses!
This would make a beautiful baby quilt.
Lovely.
Great fun to watch this and be a part of your process. Sounded so familiar
to some of my struggles.
Super leuk lucy !!! Love you're blog, quilts, houses and lessons,
Irene
Absolutely adorable! I do like the second version!
Gorgeous - I like the last one, though they are all very cute - my Happy House Swap has those houses - must try downsizing one day - sure are cute!

Very shining, when I finished my last quilt I will make this beautiful houses... no doubt
Heb met veel plezier je huisjes-verhaal gelezen. Wilde je ook nog bedanken voor de leuke en leerzame dag gisteren. Ik was een beetje traag (hard gewerkt!) en merkte te laat dat je al weg was. Ik ben al bezig het blok af te maken!

Hi!
I stumbled upon your blog and you have some really beautiful pictures and quilts. I was wondering if I could interview you for one of my classes - I'm a junior at the Maryland Institute College of Art and I'm doing a thesis on quilting. If you would be interested in being interviewed you can email me at carissa_holly@yahoo.com
Thank you!!

Wat een schattige huisjes! Enig!
I enjoyed watching you work though this. Adorable!
Your houses are so sweet- I like them both. I think quilt #2 is just perfect!
Lovely houses. The light sashings are beautiful!!
Wat geweldig leuk is je mini huisjesquilt!
Definitely the sashing and cornerstones - just perfect!
Lucy they were both very nice. reminds me that I need to finish the one I started last year.
I really love to look at your projects! I also like your pictures - I'm not real good at my lighting or something.
Have a nice day!

This turned out really great! I always love the house quilting blocks.
Very very nice.
ciao ciao
Your houses are wonderful! I like all your quilts and when I come here, it's always a pleasure to read you!
(sorry for my bad english...I hope it is not to funny to read!)
Great solution to add the sashing and cornerstones. I didn't notice the chimneys and doors though, I think both quilts are very cute!
I love the one with the corner stones. This is so cute!
This mini is really lovely !!! The sashing with the cornerstones really enhances the houses.
I saw the copy of Quiltmania at my local fabric shop and read through it. Waow ! Your house is amazing, particularly the page where the tulip quilt is displayed. And it was nice to see Bonnie too !
Each little quilt has it's own charm...I like them all!
they are so cute Lucy. I love the way you create such beautiful little quilts.
Hope all is well with you and the family
I love house quilts! I think I have had the Little Quilts book with that pattern in it for ages but have never made that particular one.
so beautiful your houses!
Happy Easter to you and your family.
Thinking of you, Lucy --- I know life is probably very busy for you right now. I hope you are doing alright.
Love

It was fun to see how your little houses evolved. They turned out just charming! Very nice.
I LOVE your little houses! Seeing them hung on the door is the finishing touch -- lovely!
