The sun is shining. A breeze blows the clouds and drys the day's 365 circle quilt. The front lawn is nicely mowed while the field in the back is growing wildflowers and the cats are inside looking out.
Welcome to my stop on Jen and Jan's Mini quilt blog hop. I've always wanted to do a house quilt so when I saw this pattern I couldn't resist. The free pattern for Quilter:s Laundry Day can be found here . I'm also participating in the Quilty 365 so my mini mini quilt is the circle for today. The clouds and the tree are made the same way I do my circles...shape sewn to light interfacing and then turned. I put a hedge in the front of my house and a bright brass doorknob.
This was a lot of fun to do, but harder than expected....right now, my floor and cutting table is covered with rejected fabric choices and second guessing my final choices was constant. I may have to do another one!
Right now, I'm planning on using this as a center for my finished circles at the end of the year.
There were some great quilts shown yesterday and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of todays! If you leave and comment on Jen's or Jan's blogs, you will be entered into a drawing. You can see all of the quilts on these blogs.

I love how you described your quilt, and that I can see the lady who made the quilt through the window, and her cats. I just noticed she lives at number 3, and on her lovely quilt on the line do I spy ladybirds crawling on the quilt? So fun!
