Remember these ?

It has been a while since I posted any progress on these blocks so I thought why not update you since I finished the last block yesterday . These blocks were a BOM from Shabby Fabrics for 2012 and I have to say I enjoyed making each and everyone of them ,I looked forward each month to see what the new block would be , now I am not saying I kept up each month but I did for the most part and here is what they look like right now.
I love it and now need to decide on a border fabric , hopefully I have something on hand that will work as this was all about using up scraps for me but I think someone is refilling my scrap bins as they don 't seem to have gone down even a little .
I also finished off a little top that I will share at a later date and worked on some stitching for the Winter in Blogland , almost finished block four , whew I am so slow at this but eventually I will get there.
We had some snow overnight but it has become very mild so is melting quickly but alas they are predicting a little weather system for Tuesday that may bring us 20-25cm. of the white stuff ,if we get that it will be the most we have gotten so far this year , we technically have not had a storm , snow yes but a real down to earth storm has not happened. I am sure Mother Nature is not going to let us off that easy so I think February will make up for the lack of snow so far. I am off now to hem some pants , not my kind of sewing but somethings just have to be done ;-) Hope your day is a great one and thanks for stopping by .
 hugs Sheila

    Cute houses! I don't have a good record with BOM's, so I just watch from afar. How about some scrappy sashing between the blocks?

    I love the House Blocks. I downloaded a couple but never got round to stich them...
    It would look great with a 1" soft mustard and then a soft 3" green?????

    Lovely bom blocks, and you have finished them not far past the end of the year, so I call that keeping up :) Hope Mother Nature stays kind and only gives you little storms if you must have them :)

    Very sweet houses! We've had lots of snow and cold here this winter. Although we don't count our snow in cms really. We never get tons of snow - it just is snowing constantly.

    Oh I love your houses - they look so good.
    We have had a little bit of snow here - but other parts of Scotland and England have had lots of it. It is very chilly though!!!

    That's a neat quilt and a big congrats on finishing all of the blocks. I think the scrap elf must be busy refilling your scrap boxes, haha.
    Take care,
