Something About Nothing

I received a lot of great suggestions as to where to place the flag on my townhouse quilt so I printed out a few different flags (as well as the label) onto a piece of TAP ( Transfer Artist Paper ), then ironed the transfers onto  Mistyfused  fabric. . . . . . so I could try the flags out in different areas. First on the right side of the door. . .  . . .flying on top of the building. . .  . . . and hanging from the top of the building. I decided to go with the flag flying  from the top of the building to offset the tree.   I took the piece to my friend Juliette's house  so that I could quilt it on her lovely Bernina 440 .   And so I could visit with Juliette. Pretty sure I did more visiting than quilting (more about that later in the week) but in the end it was all good because I finished the quilt! Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I love hearing from everybody , because I value your...

It all started with a drawing that was too complex  for the small quilt I wanted to make. . . . . .I simplified. . . And simplified . . .and then created the main house fabric  from a piece that didn't dye as dark as I wanted for another project  (more on that one on Monday).  I stenciled bricks in two colors . . .  . . .And added some sparkly paint too.  Then I Taped off the windows and door. . . . . . And covered them in black. . .  . . .I covered the black with a white pen. The main house is done  but because this quilt is for The House Quilt Project   I still need to figure out where the flag will go. . . . . .hanging from top . . . . . . window. . . . . .flying from top. . . Where do you think the flag should go?
