    Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I ripped out lots of seams on this one. This is the first pattern that I've altered. My husband decided that the step needed more definition. I also wish that I had something more with the windows. But once I thought of that I wasn't ripping it out. After all of the work, I'm really please with it.

    Your use of perspective with those background houses is great.

    LOL. I agree. I feel guilty letting others go first. Actually, I've started but it's taking a while with so many small pieces. That roof section is really a challenge. I think I'm going to redraw it to see if I can make it fit better.

    Good job Cheryl. Paper piecing is not growing on me yet either. I will post my block today, mistakes and all. Thanks for all your help

    Boy oh boy oh boy :( .
    I think I like the challenge of paper piecing and believe me this farmhouse challenged me :roll: . Just when I thought I had my material set just right on the angles I sewed and turned to find my fabric going in a totally different direction. I ripped out so many times I had no paper left :hunf: .
    A BIG thanks to all the quilters that have already posted. You are my inspiration.
    After I took this picture I noticed I put part of the border on backwards, I'm just not surprised at all. lol
