Don't know if I have that kind of perseverence Just finished the farmhouse block. I'll have to rest a while before trying something else new to me.

I was determined to get it done. It was my 4th color combination (as well as sewing attempt!) and it took me almost as long to settle on the colors as it did to make it!
I was scared of the houses!
