North Pole set 1 finished

I finished the rest of the North Pole Village I set. i was getting a little disapointed when i got another house instead of a shop. but it is this cute A-frame house. i think one of the elves must live there. LOL


But all is not lost. there is the Sleigh Repair shop. of course, you have to have that...after all those stops on rooftops i imagine the sleigh rails get a bit worn. gotta love the little guys wrench...looks almost as big as he is.



And after all that work you need a little treat of Milk and Cookies. wouldn't it be nice if you could just go to town for a treat of milk and cookies and not have to bake the cookies yourself. in person, that giant cookie over the door has chocolate chips in it...but it doesn't show well in the picture.



Or, if milk and cookies didn't do it for you....how about some Ice Cream....yum.



And another favorite of mine (how many 'favorites' can you have?..LOL)...is the Egg Nog Pub.  just adorable. can't you just picture little elves all lined up on the barstools? hahahahahaha


And that ends set 1. i've already finished the first one in set 2 and it is adorable, too.

Which is your favorite? i'm trying to think how to set these in a quilt....i really don't want to do the traditional rows of blocks...i need a village 'scene'.  Any ideas?   Hhhmmmm????

How about a little "creative" trimming of the blocks into shapes and machine applique onto a background? Maybe layers of clouds, sky, trees, snow (with hoofprints of course), then applique onto it.
