Update on BOM (block of the month)

This year it seems like there are a lot of different (and nice) blocks of the month. One of the ones that I have decided to take part in is by Quilt Doodle Designs. 
The first installment was a row of snowmen and I actually thought that the whole quilt was going to be done in rows. I was wrong and so here's the next part.

The cozy cabin block is 16.5 inches by 22.5 inches. A fairly big block. I was glad to be able to use the same blue for the sky as I had for the snowmen and now I have very little left. It's always nice when fabric gets used up. The stash is so big and I am trying really hard to just use up what I have.This block really does look kind of bare and empty. I think it needs something...

I will post more sewing related stuff as I get it done. 
Linking up this week with The Needle and Thread Network and with What a Hoot! Pop on over to see what others are working on this week.

  1. Nice house block. The blue looks cute with the little crescent moons. I think this quilt will be a good size one based on the blocks so far.

  4. If I weren't working on my thesis for the next two terms, I'd sure be joining in on this BOM! I love it. Lots of space for great quilting in this block's sky. :)

  5. Very cute! If you feel it needs something, how about an appliquéd full moon top left, in the same fabric as the window, perhaps? Just a thought...

  6. I think it will look just fine with the yo-yo's added for snowflakes. This BOM is very tempting ...

  9. Maybe the block will have more elements near the end...like embroidery. I see you've changed your avatar picture....I wondered who you were...LOL

    How is the snow in your neck of the woods? I can't believe the amount that came down today. They had forecast rain....ha!!

  10. My favourite block, anything to do with a house! I love it! Your top banner is an excellent photo, but I must say that I prefer to look at it than to walk in it!
