This was such a fun project to work on! Fun because I love a good scrap buster quilt - I do actually enjoy methodically working my way through my fabric stash and cutting a small piece here and there for whatever project I am working on - and I love to continue challenging my sewing skills (although these inset seams are not as tricky as they look!). 

I have quilted this quilt by first ditch-stitching all of the straight horizontal seam lines, and then adding vertical lines of stitching through both the center of each of the little houses as well as in the seam of the houses. This has created a rectangular grid of quilting lines, adding interest in an understated way, and allowing the fabrics to tell the story. There is a lot to see!

For the back of the quilt I have used a hoarded much loved floral fabric from the popular Katie Jump Rope collection by Denyse Schmidt. I do have a significant stash of "backing fabrics" - yardage bought specifically for a quilt back. These are usually fabrics that I LOVE, but I have difficulty parting with. However, it is only fabric and now is as good a time as any to use these stashed fabrics. And I am super pleased with this combination of prints and the bright and cheerful backing fabric.

For the quilt binding I have stayed true to my signature style ... a black and white stripe fabric. This particular black/white stripe fabric is by Sevenberry; the stripe is a regular repeat however the black stripe is slightly narrower in width than the white stripe.

This quilt is available for purchase from my Etsy Store.
