A Quilter's Cove QAL for February

Hello and welcome to the second month of the Quilter's Cove QAL. Kat is organising it and I'm hosting the party. If you're looking for the I Quilted This linking party, it's here.

Green Houses in A Quilter's Cove

The colour for February is green. We are following Angela choice for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge (RSC). The linking party starts at the last Saturday of each month - so below you will find the February linking party.

I haven't quite completed my green houses but I'll update this post as I add the details to my house block.

February's green houses in Nyhavn, Copenhagen

These colourful houses are located in Nyhavn (New Harbor), along the canal in Copenhagen. The homes are from the 17th and early 18th century, when Nyhavn was a New Harbor and a sea port. It's where I took a boat tour of the canals around Copenhagen. 

As you can imagine, Nyhavn was a happening place (and still is.) Even Hans Christian Henderson lived here, in three different houses during his lifetime.

Here are my two houses so far.

What I learned

• The windows in the houses are not just white - I think that this is what is making my Nyhavn houses so dull. I'll be FMQ around the windows, probably using black for one of them, and another dark colour for the other.
• The houses in Nyhavn are not wonky😀 It wasn't my intention to make them so but that is how they turned out! The centre house looked a little wonky when I made it, but it sure is obvious in the photo. 
• As I was looking at the pictures of the houses, I noticed the gulls on top of them. I'll have to add some once the houses are finished.
• I'm going to be more organised for the next houses. I did start a few days ago but things got busier than I expected, so I worked on most of the details on Friday night. I'm just too tired to keep at it but I will add my finished block's picture when it's done.
