It finished up to 31" by 35.5" It looks so small to me - can barely see any of the details.I asked my husband how he liked it. He says "It's not egregious." He doesn't like the wild busy stuff. He admitted he doesn't care for "Terms of Endearment" at all - that one IS egregious. Ah well - there's a reason I don't ask for his opinion as I'm making them.
I'm pretty boring these days. Happy, working on gift bags and chores, but boring. Sweetie and I watched a Season 3 Columbo last night. It was one I didn't remember at all - a rarity as well as a treat.
Speaking of letters on quilts (which I wasn't, but the quilt above does have them...), check out J's Quilting Blog. Joyce has made a really fun "Java Jitters" quilt (you should be able to relate, Darcie). She's currently playing around with an improvisational quilt with letters and stars - go give her some encouragement.
I love Space for Rent. The busy fabric just adds to the fun. The problem with asking advice (and my husband and all 4 children are artists) is that you get different valid advice from each one. You still have to go your own way.

Tonya, I've loved taking a peek at each block of Space 4 Rent as you've posted them. The finished quilt looks fabulous!
ReplyDelete"Space 4 Rent" is a finished finish!!! Good for you! Will you be able to have all of your quilt *out* and not in storage at your next residence?
ReplyDeleteI loved the latest "cat house," by the way. Too cute!
I'm saving J's blog to look at when I've got more time. Looks fun!
I really like it! Looking at all the little houses along the way I really didn't know what to expect, but I didn't expect black...and I LOVE it! The black makes all the colors pop and sing. It's perfect!*VBG* Great job! I'l pop in on Joyce too and check out her quilt.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job!

I love, love, love it!!! It was worth the wait. It is such a fun looking quilt. I have not gotten anything done lately but soon I will be back on track. You are great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS! I'm a big alien fan and have been jealous of all the neat alien fabric you have found. I'm glad I got to see the completed quilt.
ReplyDeletethanks for the inspiration to get back to my wonky houses, which have been gathering dust as a UFO for a while...
ReplyDeleteI could see this hanging in either a classroom OR my library... :)
ReplyDeleteIt'd be a good story starter in an elementary classroom - Space for Rent? Which house would YOU pick to live in?
Or as a banner to brighten the children's area. Space for Rent? Fill your space with our books!
Oh your space for rent is so cute! I just love your maverickness!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is amazing! I love it!!
