rhondals, thank you for sharing this! yes, that could take 5-10 mins only and they're so cute especially with their scrappy nature and applique for me is easier and faster and lots more fun sometimes than lots of piecing. you can add more unique touches that way. i can see how you could easily vary them up some by moving the door or putting in a window or chimney but still have it be the same size. these are such fun!
