Right now, I'm into the idea of wacky crooked roads to create wonky little neighborhoods. The blocks are all terrific can be found my flickr galleries. I couldn't single out any to show here, because they were all spectacular... go look! Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3
For my own contribution, I've made a few very simple street signs, trees and skinny houses to scatter about here and there:
What do you think about the layout? Should I sort them another way? Nix the roads? So many options!
Wow! I love the concept and the layout. The idea of roads is fabulous and provides a great point of contrast. I think you should go with the design above. But whatever you decide I'm sure it will look amazing!
ReplyDeleteLayout is awesome - and I absolutely adore your ingenious little selvedge streetlights.
ReplyDeleteVery talented folks in your group. - I am blown away!
Oh I just love this idea! LOVE the wonky streets! First 'village' I've seen with streets! Can't wait to see your finished project! Maybe this one should have a tutorial?! =D
ReplyDeleteOh my, I LOVE it!! How delightful!
ReplyDeleteAs a professional traffic engineer I love a quilt with streets in it - however, I'm concerned about the safety of your cross-roads - perhaps some traffi signals or some roundabouts!!
ReplyDeleteI love it - it's going to be an amazing and very special quilt once it's finished!
Lurve the one you've got there. And the stoplights are genius! :p
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the roads. I also LOVE you selvedge traffic lights.
ReplyDeleteI'm useless on layout so I won't comment on that but I just LOVE your traffic lights. Genius. I want to rush off now and make a whole traffic light quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt will look just amazing Amy!
ReplyDeleteOh that is going to look bloody fantastic Amy! I love the roads - it's very Sydney all wonky like. No town planning what-so-ever (just the way I like it!).
ReplyDeleteI love your little signs ;)
The streets give a real feeling of movement to the quilt, so I love this design!
ReplyDeleteLove the selvage dot traffic lights!
ReplyDeleteI think the roads looks terrific. What's this town called?
ReplyDeleteAnd the selvedge traffic lights are incredible. Makes me want to make an entire quilt of traffic lights...
I love your layout with the streets! Great idea! The blocks all look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove he layout and ADORE your selvedge traffic lights.
ReplyDeleteSo clever!!
love it. some your blocks are fab. can't wait for the finished piece.
ReplyDeleteWow, I think the wonky roads look fabulous, and so different from all the other neighborhood quilts out there. I say "go for it"!
ReplyDeleteI love the wonky roads! What color are you thinking? It could be fun to have them be a little lighter or colored in some way so that the houses don't get upstaged with the contrast.
ReplyDeleteI'm also trying to figure out a little neighborhood and I was thinking of loosely grouping them since some look more rural and some more suburban... I'm excited to see how yours comes together!
I love it - jealous as always of your quilty goodness. A little school bus with selvedge spot wheels. The roads are fabulous
ReplyDeleteWhat a great concept, and I love the layout you have given. Can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteI've been admiring your village blocks on flickr for a while now, the girls have done a brilliant job.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely use the roads, what an awesome and original concept! I love it.
Also loving the little traffic lights! OMG so much cuteness!
