I got the houses set together. I decided to use ribbon for the grass beneath each house to ground them. My plan was to applique words in the borders but that just wasn't working. The scale of the letters was all wrong with the houses. I didn't want to do a vine… I flailed around for a few days before I went to my drawer of interesting trims.
I've started hand sewing this string of flowers to the borders and they look good. It's coming along! My quilt will be called "I want to go home."

Absolutely LOVE the quilt. Have you gals thought about selling the patterns after the quilts have sold? That could be another fund raiser for Ami.

Title of your quilt reminds me of my mother when she was towards the end of her battle with dementia. She would sometimes sit outside on the curb and say, “I can’t find my home.” Dementia of any type is awful. I hope they find a cure soon. And, thank you for your efforts
for this worthy cause.

I had to look several times to really see how small these houses are. It was the pins that finally settled it…I really like the varied color in the outside trim too.
