Edyta’s Tip: Quick and easy ways to customize your quilts without changing the pattern recipes are by making small changes! Try switching which side your chimney is positioned on a roof, or use your own colorful scraps to customize windows and doorways — get creative, have fun individualizing your village!

We only have 3 more blocks to go — can you believe it? With many of your houses built, how is everyone feeling? I love hearing about everyone’s quilting journey as we all quilt along together.
