I just completed the center portion of the quilt and got all the houses attached.
The center turned out to be quite a challenge because it was way too small. I ended up having to figure out how to add borders without ruining the look. I added flanges to some of the borders to make it more interesting, and now I think it's just perfect.
This week my focus was to finish hand embroidering all the birds.
Now it's ready to baste. My goal for April is to finish this quilt. I need to baste, quilt, and bind it.
I'm linking up to the Goal Setting Party at Fiber of All Sorts.

What an adorable quilt. It is just so sweet. I could use a lot of adjectives here. I can't wait to see it at the end of April!
Great job! When I did this quilt my birdhouse was off-kilter. Love the colors you chose.
I love that the skies are different, and there are birds in your town.
Thanks for sharing it.

Your town is so colorful, much better than what the pattern suggested. I would like to live there - in the Purple House, of course. It would make a perfect "Glory Bees" - Tea Room downstairs and eclectic shoppes upstairs. Of course, we would serve your favorite coffee(s) as well. Thank you for sharing your quilts, their progress and their stories.
Sandy...you've done a great job on this one. Are you machine or hand quilting it? I love how you fixed the size problem in the center. It's perfect. Love everything about this quilt. You have to bring this one to retreat. I hope you are keeping it for yourself this time around, too.
What a fun town! When can I move in?
Yes, I too hope this is a "Sandy" quilt.
Excellent solution!!! I too love everything about ths quilt...your color choices make for a happy, playful neighborhood!
Your Quilted Villages is stunning. Just love your color choices! I think April is the perfect month for this one to get done too.
