This is a good picture to start with. It shows my finished Hobbit House quilt and the rules that surrounded the making of it.
As soon as I heard the subject, way before I saw the fabrics, I knew I wanted to do something like a hobbit house.
This one is in the children's area at our local Renaissance Faire.
Just a couple of the gazillion ideas I sketched out.
And some progress shots.
I did draw it out full size on a piece of paper. I used it as a sort of a pattern. Loosely.
Everything is raw edge applique with Wonder Under 805. Yes, I do buy it by the bolt.
I was cutting out flowers while the kids played at a park.
Above, mostly ready for the quilting. You'll see a there are a few more flowers in the final piece.
Busy back to use up fabric and hide messy stitches. Also I put the label right in the backing so when the quilting was done, the label would be done. I put the two required fabrics as part of the label.
All done and ready for the show.
This quilt did not win a ribbon, there were some very lovely and well made quilts that it was up against. The judge noted in the comments that it "lost it's perspective" I assume she meant depth perception, and I rather agree. But it was fun to put together and will soon go to its happy permanent home.
