House Work

When I plan my houses, I always lay the fabrics on my worktable in the places I will use them. So here, the blue is the sky/background, the yellow is the body of the house, and the rest of the colors are windows, doors, chimney, tree, etc.  After I get to this stage, I try to make sure my fabrics aren't too much the same. I go back and make sure I have fabrics with prints of different sizes (all blender types would be too boring / predictable / bland also).
But then I happened to look over to see that awesome green I bought on Sunday and I thought, well what the hell... let's go for it.  So I started moving fabrics around to see how far I could push this?

The only fabrics that are the same in both designs are the background, the roof and one window.

I am in the process of making step-by-step demo pieces for my class at Quilted Threads next week.  There's one space left.  Will you fill it?

    I live in CA... so I can't take your class. But I did love the auditions. I do love a mellow yellow house. There aren't many of them here.
    Hugs!

    I saw your post on my Fav's list on my blog and my immediate reaction was "that house is wearing sunglasses"! Not only that but looking at it, its also got a thatched roof.

    Sorry I haven't been around much. Been a bit busy, but back now.

    I love the tree fabric. It was meant to be :)
