Love your block skydiver.

My blocks are not all the same size, which is how I wanted it. I will make fill ins when I am putting it together.

Thanks for your comments, everyone. I really like all the ones everyone has done on each month's project. I just fail to comment as my computer is so slow at times...athough I don't think as slow as me. LOL

I decided to move the tower to the center, add some steps, and call it a courthouse.

Hey Whitepine, wonderful idea! It is a perfect courthouse. Way to go, thinking outside the box. That's one of the reasons I love this Board - we get to see things through different eyes.

The Ohio School House Block was "interesting". When I printed it so the 1 inch square was actually 1 inch, the block was not a 12-1/2 inch block. I had to add to the sides and bottom. I have not figured out what the problem is, but I made it work. At least I finished this one before the last week of the month.

The fabric in the windows has the alphabet scattered over it. It is very faint, and the flash would cause it to disappear all together.

You have made a great School House block too!! :thumbup: I love the red color that you made it with & the alphabet fabric in your windows. You didn't do a thing wrong with the size of your block. If you look on the pattern, it will tell you that it is a 10" block. Several blocks are not 12"s, so we have added on to make them the same size. Very nice work.
:D :D :D :D
