Quilted Village -- A Work in Progress

I'm finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel on my "Quilted Village" project.  I finished the final house block today!  This one was a little challenging because of the embroidery on the clock and the flag, but I think it turned out well.




















When I started this quilt top in 2012 I was so excited about making mine different from the pattern that I jumped right into the house blocks and didn't make the quilt center which was the first step in the instructions.  If I had done it in the correct order I would be very close to being finished now.  

This is the way the pattern looks .....























..... but, obviously since my houses are bright and colorful, my greens in the town square need to be colorful, too.  That's the next step -- digging through my greens.  That'll be fun.  I have more greens than any other color in my stash.

I'm linking up with  ......... WIP's Be Gone Week 11, then I need to see what everyone else is working on.

Two More Houses - WIP's Be Gone Week 9

Angie, at A Quilting Reader's Garden has been encouraging us to write more often about our Works in Progress, so I thought I would share with you the two most recent house blocks I have completed for my "Quilted Village."  

When I shared block #9 and #10  they didn't have all the embroidery added, but they do now.


























This week I finished block #12, so I am making steady progress.

























I saved the most complicated block #11 for last.  It's the courthouse so it has lots of windows, a clock, two trees and an American flag.  Maybe I should set that as my March goal, but I'm hoping it won't really take an entire month.  

I am linking up with WIP's Be Gone Week #9.  I'm going over there now to see what everyone else has been up to.
