Can you all help with colors for the house?
When I started this project, I hoped to have it finished by the end of January. Slim chance Zero chance but I’m never right on the dates I think I’ll finish a project. Here’s where I stopped last night.
Here’s the pattern cover so you can see the house.
It’s pretty much a basic house. My flowers are a little more pink. I used all my own colors. I’m feeling like there’s too much red/pink for my taste. On the other hand, a big blue or lavender house might stand out like a sore thumb. So many projects have red houses and I do love red houses. On big samplers, I don’t want to do a lot of changing but on smaller projects like this, I wouldn’t mind having a bunch of different projects, all with different colored houses.
I’m thinking either blue, teal or lavender. Any other suggestions? What are your thoughts? Does the red house pull it all together and I need to leave it red? Is the red house too much red, especially mixed with the pink flowers?
Thank you for your help!! 🙂

I think the red house helps to balance the two sides of the quilt. You might play around with different shades of red, just to see.

Lavender might be pretty.

I love a red house. My current house is yellow with black shutters, but if I had my choice it would have been red with white shutters.
