I have a wee teeny tiny little collection of holiday fabrics (insert eyes looking to the heavens…) So I got out the crate.. tub... um.. I mean little box of them … and used a piece of my Santa fabric for the window! I'm going to start looking for darling prints to add in!

We are on Block #4.. below is the download & link to my project page with ALL the blocks

TRUE CONFESSION.. this is 'Try #2' as 'Try #1'  didn't quite make it.. want to see?

When I made this block I didn't think about how using a different fabric at the bottom would create an entirely new look. It makes the house short. I put it on my design wall for awhile and it bugged me.

So I had a date with Jack, Jack the Ripper, and fixed it up! Don't you think it's better on the one above it?

  1. I seem to start more larger quilts. I enjoy starting new projects and always have several ai need to quilt. I never get tired of new ideas.

  2. I mostly make small quilts and charity quilts. I would like to get into the Quilt of Valor quilts. Building my stash so send me the fabric woo hoo! Thanks Pat for all the wonderful lessons!

  3. I like it all. Love the fabric colors!!! Love working on any kind of project. Keeps it all interesting!!!

  4. I make a little of every size Quilt. Lap quilts and twin size are the most works in progress that I have but, baby quilts are what I end up doing the most and finishing the quickest. I guess they have to be done and with baby quilts I have a definite timeline to complete. I would love to make all the beautiful house blocks, It’s on my list for someday. I’m hoping someday comes sooner than it seems. Thanks for the giveaway! ;-> Toni Anne

  5. Generally I like to make bed size quilts so there is more purpose to them. Many are given to a boys home for kids in trouble with the legal system. It’s their chance to do better. Love being creative with them.

  6. I have made many different sizes of quilts, but I usually end up making more small items. I guess I like a quicker finish.

  7. I agree on the motivation Louisa. As I was looking at the houses I thought, oh if only I had your talent when it comes to putting fabrics together, okay, all of your talent. I mostly make lap quilts, for one thing it goes faster, number two I can quilt them myself.

  8. I am relatively new to quilting so passionate about this craft and make all sizes to suit the project. I enjoy learning and will try all teachings…

  9. I make mostly bed quilts. I moved in a new place that has more wall space, so I want to make some art quilts too, but first, I have to finish a baby quilt. The parents didn’t want to know the gender in advance and I guessed wrong!

  10. My mood decides what I make, sometimes it is just something quick, it could be a bigger quilt or a lap quilt because I think someone needs it. I love the blues in this fabiric

  11. I mostly make a mess! But, I do bed quilts. Not always to completion, as my mind jumps from project to idea to another idea, etc.

  12. Still new and have much to learn, but for some insane reason, queen size quilts is what I make the most. Two on the go now…may take a while..lol

  13. I have recently made 2 larger quilts. Before I liked wall hangings, table topper & lapsizw. Think I was too anxious to get project done to enjoy the process. Now I am concentrating on the process & making more scrappy quilts.

  14. Hi, Lori Schifano here. I’ve been following Pat Sloan’s facebook group for awhile now. I am working on a sprocket pillow and will post when it’s done. First time quilting and my first project. Wish me luck! I want to accomplish this, I know I can accomplish this, I’m gonna just do it! Watch Me!!

  15. I make lots of small to lap size, as my grandson (7) likes to have a different “table blanket” for all the holidays.

  16. Go BIG, or go home! I’m totally an oversized lap and bed quilt gal! Thank you for your generosity and contributions to our quilting world!

  17. Go BIG, or go home! I’m totally an oversized lap and bed quilt gal! Thank you for your generosity and contributions to our quilting world!

  18. Lately it seems that I’ve been on a roll for lap quilts. However, I’ve got several table runners and queen-sized bed quilts percolating. Love your blocks and especially the Fig Tree version. Thanks for all the inspiration you give so freely!

  19. I would love to win this. Maybe get me back in the quilting “goove”. Thank you Pat for all the beauty you bring into our lives and the connections we make through your site.

  20. I make all types of quilts. I live your website with all kinds of projects, patterns and links to purchase.

  21. I make super sized everything lol. If it’s a baby quilt or a queen sized quilt, I always seem to enlarge them without realizing it. I figure bigger is better with quilts.

  22. I have made mini quilts all the way up to a king sized, hand quilted wedding ring quilt for my bed. Most of my quilts are full or queen size. Most of my quilts have been gifts. I love to make them. Handmade gifts are the best!

  23. I do a little of all of the above. I am learning paper piecing now. I am going to tackle a art quilt, least I think that is what they are called

  24. My projects totally vary. I have a large picnic quilt and two lap quilts at the long arm quilter now. Currently I’m working on 4 quilted nativity wall hangings for presents. After that I have planned 2 bed quilts (queen size)

  25. I like to make small quilts, baby quilts and lap quilt. Occasionally a a bigger quilt. Love ,love blue!

  26. Love this website, makes want to get up and to quilt. I do mostly small quilts, but starting to do more full size quilts for grands!

  27. I’m a beginner, not quite rank, but a beginner never the less. I dream about making full-sized quilts, but I work on smaller projects. I’m also a bit of a scaredy-cat, worrying about “ruining” nice fabric. However, I did get a magnet from Missouri Star a few days ago, “Finished is better than perfect.” I shall muster up courage to tackle a big quilt.
