Thank you. I have lots of time! No husband, kids are grown and can sew any time/place in the house I want. It makes a huge difference when you don’t have to deal with other things. Also, a lot of my quilts are made using Leader/Enders, So they can be put together pretty quickly.

I love your house quilt. Very bright and cheerful. It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!!

LOL1 I never even thought of Mr Rogers! I do lots of leader/ender quilts too. Sometimes not sure which project is the leader/ender or the real one.

Thanks. There are patterns out there but I just looked at a picture and made it up myself. You are right. The roof is a 2.5 X 4.5 inch FG. The rectangle right under the roof is 1.5 X 4.5. and I'm pretty sure the walls are 3 1.5 X 2.5 inch rectangle. They were kind of like eating potato chips--you just kept wanting to make one more.

Thanks Suze, but what do you mean background color? The red/beigh plaid is going to be the background. Sorry, that probably wasn't clear in my original post. I am a little worried about contrast. I will have to include some beige in the applique, but the idea is basically a 2 color quilt, red & beige. Not sure how it will work but plan to cut out all the pieces and preview on my wall before I start sewing. That way if the background just doesn't work, it's not a big thing to change my mine.
I watched several piece o cake videos and am going to try her method from start to finish, see how it goes. I usually wouldn't plan that much but want to give her method a chance.
