Favourite things

Here is one of my favourite things....this is my Row I did for our Round robin group...(I think I like plaids!)
These wee houses are paper pieced and I got the patterns from "Down in the Valley" by Cori Derksen and Myra Harder. The entire book is all paper pieced houses. I bought this book off TradeMe for $10!
Please click on the photo so you can see the tiny pieces.

In January our group of 12  creative quilters got together with our finished Row (so that's mine in the first photo), fabrics, notebook with what would would like, measurements etc, popped the lot in a bag and swapped with another in the group...and once each month we would meet and do another swap.Until there was no more swapping to do! Monday night we got our bag back....these are all my rows laid out.
Aren't they cute??
Now I have the task of deciding how to piece this wall hanging. I might pick out a fabric for a sashing, maybe a fairly plain ,dark fabric then do a scrappy border, any suggestions?
