Hope you have fun at the Easter Party today!

So far as the small blocks go, if you want to put the house quilt together like a puzzle, since the blocks are being built in multiples of 3, the smaller 3” blocks will help you fill in spaces. I will post my chicken blocks when I get them and put them together so you can get an idea of how it would all work together. It’s a lot of fun and creates a neat looking quilt!

Cheers!

Thank you so much. I've known how to piece since I was a child (it's what we did when we were snowed in and that was often in the winter) but I didn't really get into quilting until just a few years ago. So far most of what I've done has been fairly traditional and this is virgin territory for me so I need all the help I can get.
