Designing my quilt..

I have been thinking it might be interesting for those of you to see how I have design my quilt.....
My quilt is what our wee farm and my gardens look like.

First I went outside and look at our house( the front of it)

              this what it first look like, I was thinking about designing how I wished it would look like
         but realized I really didn't like it, that wasn't my goal on this quilt( maybe a wall-hanging).
                                    So, I started again

 

Our house is basically a rectangle. So I drew one on a piece of paper

Our house is blue in color right now. so I used blue fabric.

using fat quarters.

and drew squares for windows using white fabric.

 

The front of our house has a front porch on it.

So I drew the posts first and used brown for them and the front porch

 

 

I made the door white as well

this is the front of the house

 

the makings of the porch

notice the two different colored windows...

both have curtains that are not white

 

       The finished house with the beginnings of the lilac shrub that is next to the house

                                           Well that is enough for now

                                   Will try and post something once a month on my quilt
                                                   or something quilt related
