I'm trying to come up with a block for my "Quilted Angels Online Quilt Club" February block challenge. The theme is Home is Where the Heart Is. I really didn't want a house with a heart on the door. That's the first thing that came to my mind and obviously would probably be the easiest and quickest. But... oh no, not me. When I am really pressed for time, how about I pick a block that has to be paper pieced. Nothing quick or easy about that! I found this on Pinterest. It screams me, just because it's red, white, and blue.
I also found this on Pinterest and this is actually what I had in mind but I think I need to modify it a bit. I want my house to be bigger and I don't think I need the moon and star. Looks like I need to work on this in EQ7. Which one do you like best?
I vote the second one but keep the moon and star... Just change the colors to yellow, the white kind of makes it washed out. The first block is nice but a little "old hat" for my likings.
ReplyDeleteI like the second one - but I am with you in thinking it needs a bigger house.
ReplyDeleteI like the first one for several reasons. Love the red, white, and blue. You've got the heart, and the flags stand for America--home.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Linda, I love the first patriotic one. It just says so much, and I wish I could make it too. As i help do quilts for Ft. Hood,TX. really nice-cant beleive you got less than a handful of comments!
