I have been working on my church block this evening, however am very, very frustrated. I stitched the door paper piece and the first window that was on template A. It turned out really good. My question is, did you have to adjust the last two templates to make them fit? I adjusted my printer to measure the first "test 1" block" at an inch and can not get template B and C to measure correctly. I am so frustrated that I am almost ready to give up on this block of the month. I really want to do this, but maybe need to go to another project. Please help!!
Happy Quilting!

Here we go. My first attempt at paper piecing. Boy, is it ever different, felt like I was doing everything backwards to any other type of sewing I've done! After a few bad starts, it turned out not too badly, although I can see a couple places that aren't perfect by any means. I did do the door section twice, as I finished the first one and decided I didn't like the door colour, so this is the second set. Still not sure whether to do a cross or something else over the door, it still looks a little plain to me.

I'm also using my small stash but I will most likely hit JoAnns and try to match up a few yards of this and that...if I can find them! And thank you for all the kind words I'm so happy I found you ladies and gents(if any) and this board. I love seeing everyones treasures.
