Wonky House quilt

Inspiration from Craftster's SimplySandy  here ... my take on the wonky house quilt

 

i used a variety of quilting patterns to add details to the houses and 'gardens'













and the back..  I used applique which seemed to work ok

Cathedral Window quilt pillow panel

I had forgotten the size i made the previous pillows. 

These are 10 inch white squares. 

the others were probably only 8 inches as the coloured fabric pieces are much bigger

circle rainbow cushion

Was in the mood for a colour wheel so thought would try something different.


However - i dont actually much care for the finished colour flow - maybe there just arent enough panels to graduate the colour ?...



Anyhow i do sort of like the embroidery - which i admit was an after thought as the big white circle in the middle really wasnt doing it for me



 

And maybe it needs a white or contrasting border to set off the colours...i dont know what it is ...its just not ......?.........
