SSS Block for February

February was Kris's month for the Snip.Sew.Send bee.  She wanted little trees and houses and, I must admist, I was totally intimidated by this block!  That's why I kept putting it off.  It was silly of me, though, because it was a lot of fun to make.  I kept holding the pieces up while I was working on them, showing them to Randy, saying "Look!  Isn't it cute!"  Randy didn't say they were cute, but he did say "Oh" every time I held them up, so at least he was sort of paying attention.

The tree is based off of the flower tutorial that Kris posted on her blog a little while ago.  I didn't have enough fabric to complete the block, but Kris can add more fabric to it when it arrives.

The house is my favorite.  It's a dog house!  And just in case you couldn't tell it was a dog house, I appliqued a little dog onto the block.  So there you go.  If you recognize the colors, I used the scraps from the fabrics I used to make the Zakka pillows.  I love these colors.  Love them.  Hopefully Kris will like them to.

This was fun fun fun.  I think I need one of these neighborhood quilts now!

I thought that tree had a familiar look! It's a great idea to use Kris' flower tutorial for trees. The dog house is adorable!
