Ten make two bee quilt top

And I really like this one - teeny houses and trees - and all in red and aqua.

Gorgeous range of aquas and reds...

Red and Aqua Half Square Triangle Quilt

Another red and aqua - so fresh with lots of white sashing.

Red and Aqua House Doll Quilt

I've found a "red and aqua love" group on Flickr. Looove that colour combination - I'll have to give it a go.

A monkey lives here!

Close up my first house bock.

Washing should be dry soon

Sunshine to dry the washing

Last night I finished the first block for my house quilt. I wanted a big sun to dry the washing. I drew up a pattern to paper piece and it worked!

Starting my house quilt

I've been inspired by another flickr member - Mini Milly, who received a quilt of lots of quirky houses from her friends.

I came up with some ideas while I was sitting in a very boring meeting this week! Did the notes in (very bad) shorthand so no one would be able to read my notes, and realise I was thinking about quilts!

This will be block number one - a clothesline. And I'm thinking about having the trees in these pots. I've had these buttons for ever.

I'm thinking of making a chook shed, bush block with a water tank, a solar house, a Victorian house with ornate trellising, a push bike in front of a house (make it obvious that kids live there), a house with a thriving vege patch, a hippy house with a peace sign. One block will be just a tree - can't have houses everywhere.

Does anyone else have some bright ideas that I could add?
