Oh yes!!! I have done that before so don't feel so bad. Very nice patterns in this book and you picked out an adorable one to make. There are a lot of house patterns that are free and you could always add trees and stars to your house pattern. I have a Halloween quilt right now at the LA quilter that I put trees and houses on. I just went thru my patterns and put blocks together. I also will buy a pattern I like and come home to see that I already have that pattern!!! Must have really liked it. I also printed out "the village" house pattern but I see that someone else has told you about that.
