    Love your church block! It's stunning!

    This is my second attempt. Pattern tweeked and I sure like these fabric choices better. I did add window sills and a window in the steeple. I think it still needs something -- help!!
    Love both your blocks!

    Overall, a not bad result though.
    Interesting choice of fabrics!

    I want to join this so bad; but I need to re-read my PP book. I started once and it was such a disaster-ended in the trash. I may try one more time but PP is just not for me.

    Sandy........It takes a few times to understand the technique. Give a another try and let us know if we can help with the step that is "annoying" you. I don't do it too much, because it seems to be backwards to me, but some beautiful flower blocks can be made with PP. And this church pattern is really a nice one. Like Sulabug, I'm thinking about making up another one...........

    I used this as a guide:

    Also on youtube there are some good video tutorials. This is the one I found helpful:
