Today is the first day of the Blogger's Quilt Festival put together by Amy's Creative side! I hope you go over and visit all of the wonderful quilts!
Here is my contribution.
I called this quilt "Little Houses".
It was inspired by a Triangle MQG member's full sized quilt. I made this doll quilt for a swap our guild did this past June. I had a very hard time giving it up.
This was the first quilt I quilted on my new sewing machine Babylock Sofia. I love the effects of the pebble quilting.
I used some of my special scraps for the houses, my favorite Ashe gray for the bacground and border, and an Amy Butler dots fabrics.
I love the straight line quilting in the borders and the happy dot border. 
I paper pieced the houses from a pattern I drew on the computer.
I especially loved the back Kaffe print.
Well thanks for stopping by.
Dont forget to visit Amy's Creatvie Side to see the other entries!
Keep dreaming...Colleen

I love the little houses. It is so comforting and beautiful.
Your little houses are just precious!
I agree that this quilt is great with all that pebble quilting!
How was the Flaunt Craft Fair btw? I ended up staying home to Skype with my hubby whom is deployed.
Such a sweet quilt! I adore tiny little houses. It's on my to-do list. I love the pebble quilting on the grey! It makes it look like they are on a little cobblestone street!

It is cute! I enjoy the pebble quilting, don't you? It works great with this quilt!
The pebble quilting works wonderfully well with the houses. Thanks for reminding me that just because the pieces are straight, the quilting needn't be!
Cute quilt and so nicely quilted and put together. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
