Finally a finish to show!!!

Here's my Diawabo Houses quilt, done...well except for a label that is.

 

This quilt reminds me of the long sleeve plaid shirts that my Grandad used to wear. I'm not sure where in my house it's going to hang, but I'll find a spot. Here are some closeups of the quilting on the house blocks.

 

 

 

My quilter, Linda Farrall, really out did herself with this quilt. She quilted every single house a little different. Amazing!!!
Oh and I did manage to get one more red & white NI block done.

 

Ooops...should have caught those two little red flowers together, but I'm not doing it over again. You'll never even notice it once the quilt is done.

Well the weekend is winding down. Today went by so fast...not nearly enough accomplished, but I guess there's always tomorrow.

Of course you already know how I feel about your Insane block. I made one yesterday and will post tonight after I take a picture.
