Neighborhood Quilts

So, if you are in the virtual quilting world you are bound to see neighborhood quilts. Like these:

1.  Community Garden Quilt.  2.  Sew2Speak Wonky Neighborhood.  

3.  A Quilting Journey Block  4.  Scrap Challenge - Home Pillow.

I absolutely adore them and want one of my very own.  You should spend a few minutes doing a flickr search for "Neighborhood Quilts" and you are bound to want one too!   It may sound weird but I feel like they represent so much about how I feel about community.  If/When I make my own I'll be sure to write a whole post about that.

Tonight, I was playing around and made my first little wonky house.  I like the house but I'm unsure of the weird flower tree thing.  I don't like the white space below the house.  It's 8in square in case you were wondering.  We are our own worst critics aren't we?  I think I'm going to cut the house out and scrap the rest.

Have you made a wonky house?  Do you know any good tips on how to make them?  Have a tutorial you love?  Wanna swap wonky houses?
