Home Sweet Home Quilt Along

I saw a lovely quilt by Aneela Hoey awhile back.  I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind – I just LOVE it!

So, how about a House and Tree Quilt–Along?!

That’s right – a tutorial for a block with either a house or a tree (or both). I seriously LOVE this quilt and ‘house’ quilts have caught my eye for a long time.

I talked to Aneela Hooey about my idea since her quilt was my inspiration.  She thought it was a great idea but has too many obligations this year to participate.  BUT she did give me a link to a house and tree tutorial on her blog so you can always start with those and work your own design off there.

The blocks designed are 12.5” x 12.5” (so it’s a finished 12” square). Each one has a house, a tree, or both incorporated somehow into the block.
