Teeny tiny house blocks

Thanks, Susan! What is it about house quilts? They are so wonderful. These tiny ones are darling and stamping the pattern onto the fabric is such a clever idea. I'm getting ready to move to the Netherlands. I might have to order a set once there. What a fun way to use up scraps. I save lots of scraps but so far I haven't really come up with a project for using them. This could actually be a fun hand-sewing project since it's small. Food for thought. I have to say, though, a paper-piecing pattern might work well too. I need to revisit that site since I didn't catch how large the individual pieces are. Sounds like the whole house block is only a bit over 2". I don't know if I could handle something quite that small.

I took another look and the stamp fits on a charm square. I'm assuming the houses are under 3" in size. That's really teeny.

I sure as heck would make a quilt but would love to make an insert for a pillow or small wall hanging.

Going to ask my folks to order it for me in Holland and send it with the next food/magazine package. Hehe

Anyone interested can PM me and we can figure out Euro/US $ and PayPal it to me to purchase the stamp. I'll bill you for the First Class plus DC when I ship it to you. :)

I love them - but no time for them now. I especially like the one with the black cat in the window - too cute!

Sigh...maybe someday.

I think they are adorable but I can't even imagine tackling something that small. Maybe if i learned paper piecing I could make ONE house for a Christmas ornament or something, but that's all. Definitely gave me a headache just looking at it! WOW that is some serious dedication.

My husband said this is "Extreme Quilting" ! LOL

Or maybe as part of a mug rug design...

Uhhh, no thank you! The quilts are cute, but no way I would attempt it!

They would make nice Christmas ornaments. But a whole quilt would be:icon_crazy:

I agree. Did you notice most of the gals pictured with their tiny house quilts are pretty young.

Those little houses would take up too much of my time as I hate to work with very small pieces. Since my scrap stash is much to big I've been forcing myself to discard any scraps smaller than
2 1/2"s. No matter how many scrappy string blocks I make the scrap stash never seems to go down.

These quilts are amazing! How awesome it must be to see one in person.

Is that the one you are talking about ordering? I can't figure out how much the price is, can tell I don't use etsy much.
