Hopeless case!

My new year's resolution has bit the dust.  For someone with the attention span of a goldfish, there is no way I can stop myself from starting new projects.  I love the excitement of putting fabrics together and making something new, so why did I think I could ration myself?  I will pledge to finish all the UFOs I agreed to this year, but I can't wait to start something when I've been inspired! 
 
 
Here is my Home and Garden block for this month.  I've nearly finished quilting it.  I pieced it and needle turned it, rather than using Bondaweb, because that's what I like doing.  (The fence was Bondawebbed, because I couldn't think of a better way of doing it!)  I'm allowed to do this, as it's not a new project.
 
 
Here is my Challenge Group house (chosen by dice!) now complete.  Well, not complete, because I don't like the doorstep - it's too dark (and not central) so I'll replace it.  But although it's a bit 'in your face' I really like it.

 
And this is what I've been tempted into making.  I found it on Sujata's blog and fell for it.  Lots of 1.5" scraps used, so what's not to like?   It looks a bit wonky, but I must reassure you that it's perfectly straight (!!), just the optical illusion of dark and light strips make it look unbalanced.  Well, if you believe that .......

I love the shadows on the dormers on your yellow house...fantastic!

Also what an illusion with the light and dark blocks looking skewed...I didn't see that at all yesterday when I saw them in person.
