Who are the People in Your Neighborhood?

Who remembers this little ditty from Sesame Street?

One of my favorites.  Amelia wasn't a big Sesame Street fan.  I just didn't like the new-ness of it so I never turned her on to it.  I loved the version I grew up on; she wasn't an Elmo fan at all.

Every time I look at my newest project finish, People in your Neighborhood skit from Sesame Street runs through my head.

Dwell from Camille's book "Simple Retro".  Happy to actually make something out of the many quilt books I have collected.

I had intended to make only a small wall hanging size but I enjoyed the house construction so much, I kept going and made all 16 blocks.  The top is finished as the pattern was written but I'm going to add a wider outer border.

I used a mix of Bonnie & Camille fabrics in this one: Ruby, Vintage Modern, Marmalade, Happy Go Lucky, and Scrumptious.  I have decided that Scrumptious is my favorite.  The colors make me smile.  There's a citrus-y undertone to them to make them nice and bright.  Right up my alley.  I'm hoarding the rest of my Scrumptious stash for right now.  The white flowered house in the upper left corner of the quilt is going to be the wider border.

I was on a major sewing kick but that has slowed down some.  I'm working on a Schnibbles and it's coming along but I'm getting bored with the process.  I have a wall hanging I need to quilt.  Once I get that done, I will post it.  I hope to get it quilted this weekend.

Enjoy your day!
