Row Homes Done London 2012

34 comments
I'm starting to sew blocks together for my London 2012 quilt.  Since I have no overall drawing for the finished project, I'm a little nervous about it.  Up until now I've just had theme blocks drawn and sewn.  But, now I've got to start making a real quilt out of the different blocks.
First I've got my 2 sets of row homes.  I really wanted them to all look similar in size but unique in features.
I'm going to have the row homes on opposite corners of the quilt.  I'm hoping as I bring all my London blocks together that by using sashing it will become a cohesive project.

Hi Nanette, I haven't stopped by in so long and thought I would pop in and see what you've been working on. Your row houses are adorable and they remind me of San Francisco.

My new project is a London 2012 quilt. It hit me one day when looking at these items on Cath Kidston that the Diamond Jubilee for the queen is just around the corner. moving to london
