Tiny Houses

Sometimes simple is best.

Here's a circa 1910 block with tiny houses.

As we all know, houses can get too big.

Efficient might be better.

I'd never noticed this simple two-patch shaded so it looked like a house.

This could be very useful.

In fact, I have been woefully negligent about the whole pattern.

Here it is shaded to look like an arrow, a quilt from about the same

time from Molly at the Fourth Corner.

Mollie knew where the pattern originated.

Then shade it like a house
