Patsquilts OFFLINE Posts: 50 Thank you received: 44	Hi, I finished both sets 1 & 2 Houses. They were fun. I'll be excited to see next month's pattern. I had already been familiar with the freezer paper piecing--which helped, I'm sure. I look forward to seeing all of your pictures!

I so agree with Les about pre-washing. I never recommend against it, but I am an art quilter and never pre-wash my fabric. The only cautionary advice would be when you label the finished quilt, please note -DO NOT WASH- in your label. I have a label I attach as a separate one from the information label; (quilt name, maker name, date, etc.) that is -CARE INSTRUCTIONS- and offer a suggestion of how to clean an wall quilt. The reason being, your quilt may eventually ends up in someone else's possession, unless you outlive the quilt.

RebeccaVT OFFLINE Posts: 22 Thank you received: 66	Want to THANK whoever it was that suggested using the edgestitch foot (on my Bernina Foot #10) for this particular method of foundation pieceing. It is definitely a game changer for me! Many thanks!

Linyo OFFLINE Posts: 2 Thank you received: 12	Finished my first 8 houses of house 1 and we are half way through the month. Right on target and they sure get easier as you go. I haven’t quilted in over 20 years and this is just the project I need. Here is a pic of my houses. Attachments: 0C74BEAF-D...42F.jpeg (64KB)

Hello friends, I finish my 16 houses too. Very fun project. Thank you so much Barbara for all the help you are providing. You are a such wonderful teacher.
I continue to apply your first lesson, the one you teach us when we did the Halo Star Medallion : this quilt deserve my best work ! I'm trying to apply this rule each time I pick up a needle.
January first could have been a sad day with this confinement ,not able to see family and friends. But, thanks to every one at TQS we had so much material to see and read and a nice project to start. It was a happy day ! Yé !
Thank you all for sharing your little houses. They are all very nice .
Now for the rest on the month , I'm going to my other quilt project : quilting the Halo star Medallion . 4 years to complete a quilt...slow but steady

Some solutions I’ve used were to add shadows to the edges with paint sticks, Inktense pencils or just outlined them with black or a dark thread. Looking forward to seeing your quilt finished using the seasons to guide your color choice.
