Past the Planning Stage - Construction has Started!

The plans were proving difficult. The houses did not look good.

The architect had a consultation with the structural engineer (aka Tonya) and construction finally started yesterday.



Building is continuing apace. The deadline has been fixed for the end of this week and hopefully we'll meet it.

House Building 2

Just about to go to bed, but just had to share this.

I think I'm going to take out the original block and the one bottom left and create mad houses. Alex chose the colours for the one on the right. My favourite is the one top left which took me an age to do as I was going through one of my 'can't see the angle' phases and I kept on just cutting and sewing strips to get it square.

House Building

I'm creating a small village. The big centre block was one of the first houses I made and its been crying out for its own quilt ever since.

I started using the colours that are in the first house and alternating them. The one top right has probably got to have its roof cut off (no contrast) and perhaps replaced with a purple one.



I pulled from the scrap box a bit of the border from Les Bleus, cut it into strips and this was the result.


Photo not brilliant - light was crap - but I like it. It doesn't fit in with what I originally intended so I'm going to have a rethink.
