Misha's Row - New Twist on My Theme

So I've been following the threads on the quilt forum where people are talking about house blocks...and I started to think how cool it would be to make that the theme of my Row Robin quilt. Then I tried to decide, do I want everyone to use the same pattern, but different fabrics? Or wonky houses? Or....? So I started googling house quilts and found all sorts of neat pictures! I then came across this little cutie:

And I'm thinking that all those previous blocks I've received (stars) could be interspersed with other rows of houses, trees, log cabin blocks, etc. So that's my theme! Still blue & white & wintery, and I'll send some fabric around that you can use if you want to, or you can use your own. You can do an entire row of similar items, or it can be a mix of things. Note: the only thing I'm not too crazy about in the above example is the rather plain row of pinwheels. Pinwheels would be fine, but I'd rather the row had more variety in it.

Any questions, feel free to ask!

    Oh I do like those houses, so cheerful. Do I really need a theme? Or can it just be "sampler" using the color theme?

    You're fine, Dee, you don't have to have a block theme per se. The color theme is perfect.

    Oh I like it! :) I may have to make a small wall hanging like this.

    I love the birds. They really pop! Can we do those too?

    Yes! Maybe a birdhouse for them too? I'm open. :)
