Something is happening with my Modify Tradition swap quilt. You know there's a swap going on, right?
I've paper pieced these blocks with templates from EQ7. I have to say, the program is amazing! The block I chose (from what seemed like hundreds of blocks) isn't even intended to be paper pieced. However, the program allows you to print any block in foundation piecing format. It will even section and number the pieces for you!
My swap partner likes house blocks, and I've always wanted to try them, so I decided to go for it. I went through several virtual mutations in layout and eventually settled on some kind of combination of all of them.
The blocks are about 6.5" square and I think they are super cute! I love the fabrics I chose. Originally I had picked a pink Kona solid, but decided to use a bit of pink dotted batik from my stash instead. I'm glad I did; these pink houses are adorable. The background is a natural colored Kona solid, and the roof is also another Kona solid. I don't really pay attention to the colors; maybe I should get one of those whacked out color cards. Or just check the bolts when I buy.
