Postcard Row

I went through a phase a few years ago where I was obsessed with house quilts. I made quite a few during that time, but my favorite of those is probably Postcard Row. That's mostly because it features some of my favorite fabrics by Natalie Barnes!

The original pattern is called Painted Ladies by Eye Candy Quilts. I absolutely hated the name though! I know the pattern was inspired by the famous row houses in San Francisco that's named Painted Ladies, but I did some quick Googling and discovered another name for those houses is called Postcard Row, and so that's what I named my quilt.

I like to add a little something extra to each quilt if I can, and for this quilt, it's to add a little whimsy to each of the houses by giving them different roof designs.

I kept the quilting consistent otherwise, with just vertical lines for the house walls to simulate sidings, and in the open space I switched up swirls and wavy lines.

And at last, another one of my favorite quilt tops is done. I loved everything about this quilt, from the super fun piecing, to the quilting. The only problem is, I actually made another quilt top using the same pattern because it was so fun, and now I will have to come up with a new quilting design! Oh well, that's a problem for another day.
