I did some more work on the first canal house today - nothing is sewn down yet, only fused, in case I want to move something. I'm not sure I want to do that, but I do want to put some sort of border around the door so it shows up more. The piece looks a little strange at the moment as I have folded under the seam allowance along the sides of the house (this was to help with the window placements), but on the whole, I think it works fairly well. Once I'm sure I'm happy with the bits, I will start stitching it down a bit.

Boo!
Love your Shoo Fly blocks. Sophie was sharing hers with us on the Liberated Quilters group last week - great fun.
The canal houses idea is wonderful. I love the picture and will be following your progress on this project.
The house looks like a lot of work! Lots of detail in it. Are you doing it all by machine? I think it will be wonderful when finished.

Just found your blog and I love this fractured houses project you are working on! Can't wait to see pictures of the final project.
Have you checked out all the quilting links and free stuff at www.WeAllSew.com yet? I think you'd enjoy clicking around!
