I agree bring in your seams beside the doors by the excess...If excess is 1/2 inch then bring in another 1/4 on each side....

i found my pattern was out in the same area above the door.
i laid out all my pattern bits on the table to check they matched up first.
what i did was re-drew the line on that bit so that it met that corner.

have a look at your pattern bits this time before you make a third, and move the line if you have too. it could save you making a full lap quilt out of failed roof-churches lol...
looks great other than that wee rebellious roofline! :)

Oh..yeah I decided last night that try number three would be my last of this block..haha... but hopefully with all the help from ladies on this board like yourself with helpful advice I will succeed in making the third church with a the roof on straight..otherwise I will just live with it and tell everyone that there was a revival going on and all the singing and music to worship the Lord raised the roof.. :) :)

Now I like that train of thought.

Allrighty then....
I am worn out my brain is a frizzle. It took me four hours to get the steeple complete. Three of those hours were spent trying to recall how to paper piece and searching the web for instructions. One site showed a simple tree, so I read what it said and couldn't absorb the simplicity.....
I had to walk away because I was ready to give it up.
After a cup of coffee and a prayer something clicked. And I'm happy to say it's done.

Thank you Cheryl Mae for all the encouragement.

Thank you all for sharing your church blocks and comments. I've enjoyed them all. :-D :thumbup:

I extended my sky since the cross on my real Church is on the steeple - this cross was my mom's. Bottom snow may 'melt' when all blocks are ready to assemble - will see how it all fits together.

It so much fun checking out the 'creativity' of BOM builders. Have you read Pillars of the Earth? You all now can empathize with the characters - they too struggled while erecting Churches!

love the windows. :wink: :thumbup:
