Little Red Houses and Apple Trees



I finished this quilt block this morning. This is my own design.

I kept trying to think of something to use up some of my buttons. And I love these apple buttons that belonged to a shirt I wore as a child.


There's a homeyness to making applique quilts because I'm using up fabric from clothes or various other projects. The roof and chimney are the bottoms of pants because I have to hem all my pants.

Actually, I really shouldn't be working on this as I have no time right now. I'll need to make 10 of these for a crib-size quilt. I'm interspersing it with blank blocks to cut down on the number of blocks I would need to applique.

    I normally read your food/travel/photo posts, but stumbled across these quilt ones.

    All the quilts you've posted are adorable. You all have made some cute stuff! I love that you used buttons and material from your clothes, too. Makes me wish I'd have saved stuff like that. What great memories!
