Come Over To My House - BOM 2009
Block 3 - Jimmy's Place

Our next block in "Come Over To My House" is Jimmy's Place. To match Alecia's color scheme, you'll need beige or sky blue scraps for the sky background, burgundy for the house, dark lavender for the roof, a bit of dark gold for the door and white or cream scraps for the windows.

I'm so looking forward to seeing your photos - those of you who use the same color scheme and those who have come up with their own.

The instructions for this block were available for free for the first two months. If you were unable to download the pattern during that time, you can purchase this block pattern for a small fee ($1.00) on my Patterns Page.

Please do not photocopy or email the PDF files to a friend. I want to you share my patterns with any one who wants it, but please direct them to this web page and they can join right in. Block 3 will be available for free for 2 months. The first block - Brenda's house - is no longer available for free, but if you missed out on it, you can purchase it for a small fee here. Block 2, Barbara's Apartment, will be available until April 15th.

When you've finished your 3rd block, please share a photo of your block so we can all see each other's work. I love the community we've built while working on this quilt together! Here is the form to submit your photos for your third block. It is easy to use! Check the bottom of this page to see other quilters' block 3 photos.

Here are my blocks:

Let's keep the fun and community spirit! Please submit a photo of your completed "Jimmy's Place" blocks.

On April 15th, after I post the pattern for Block 4, I'll select a winner from the block three photos that you submitted. The winner will receive a small gift from Forever Green Quilts!

Block 3 (Jimmy's Place) has the slight colour contrast from the previous blocks, just to give a little variation. Hope it blends well.

This block is more challenging , but persistance pays in the end.It is a good learning exercise.

This is my night time block... Before I realized the lower roof was in the wrong place the block was fully assembled... so I had to improvise...

Experiment with a copper roof

Jurra's Block 3 
THe roof was a bit tricky, but I finally get it done. I guess template method is easier.

Julie's little red house 
I enjoyed putting this block together although I had trouble with the small roof and had to tweak it a bit. I love the colors and especially the windows....

I usually have trouble with small pieces, so I sewed this very slowly. I originally wanted the roof fabric to be the house and vice versa; but it's too ...

The fabric for this is a black and white tweed with an evident weave. It does't show up very well on the picture. I think I should probably do something ...

I once again redrafted the pattern for Foundation Paper Piecing (using tracing vilene so I don't need to pick out paper), and added a little window over ...

A wonderful block - think I would use some old scrap - a very pretty little fabric piece and let the house look a like Taj Mahal.
