doll houses

Went to a local quilt store to look for lining fabric for the Dutch Doll quilt. The saleslady pulled out this 30s print, the colors were right, but she said "Oh, it has houses on it!" and started to put it back. But I liked it, so here it is.

I was surprised at the high prices at the specialty store - I guess I have been shopping at WalMart too long. But WalMart didn't have anything I liked and the next option would be to drive toward Atlanta and take half a day. This print is fine with me!

The batting has been laying out for over a week to 'air out and fluff up'. So the top is done, the lining is bought, the batting is ready, no excuses now, I just need to get started putting it all together. I just still haven't decided how I want to quilt it yet.
