Little Patchwork Village topped!!

When I say I have "topped" this quilt, I don't mean that I have done better than it .. I mean that I have made the quilt top. I finished cutting the rest of the blocks out last Tuesday at Mum's place - I took Amanda over to see Mum and the computerised longarm in action!!
I had 3 blocks already made, then I pieced the rest in no time!! My DH was playing pool so there was nothing to go home to... (especially with my central heating out of order - the control panel has nothing on the display)... so I stayed at work for a few more hours and finished piecing the quilt top too.
Here it is!!


Want to see some of the blocks?


I used a green variegated thread.



I love the fabrics I chose - the original quilt was red and pink, I think I've had enough of those for now....
Now, this quilt has to go back to Mum's place for quilting!!! LOL!!

That is lovely! What a great idea to use the stitchery as the center of pieced stars!

Am a little late checking blogs - but I've got this pattern and just recently bought some luscious reds and whites for my stars and a green and white dot for my borders, and a green/red/white diagonal stripe for my binding - going to stitch the houses in green too! It'll look a bit pepperminty I suspect.
