Wonderful school house. I can see the joy those "children" had making those snowmen at recess!

Whew! Got it in under the line...again! Working on it for a few hours still want to make the tree a Magnolia tree will figure out how to get some pink flowers in those branches and some green leaves. The flag took me the longest...I'm no Betsy Ross!

Wow! I'm not usually a purple fan, but your fabrics are gorgeous and the block turned out beautifully. Have fun adding the flowers to the tree!

Your school house block is wonderful!! :thumbup: I love your color combination, it's really pretty. I hope you will share it with us again, when you have some of the pink flowers put on your tree. Nice work.
:D :D :D :D

Love your red fabric!

I still need to stitch down the appliques that are just fused for now, and trim the block, but so far I like it best of all of them.

Well done, love it!

Here is my School House. My blocks are a little different. They are 12" blocks - I just made the houses 50% smaller. I have the Church and the farmhouse done also, hopefully will get them up tonight.

Very striking block! Will be watching for the whole quilt later, it's sure to be a show-stopper.

Just look at the miniature lighthouse blocks I made. I love the little mini bricks on the first one. I posted the picture sin the pictures section, didn't think it appropriate here :)

Hi Corky,
I do believe that some very thoughtful Quilting Board member sent that roofing piece to me. I have been so thankful for the fabric that she sent. She's an Angel!! :thumbup: Thank You Corky!!
:D :D :D :D


SulaBug 06-01-2011 01:17 PM

Corky, I just looked at your light house blocks. They are wonderful & you have done a beautiful job making them. I am so glad you shared with all of us.

Corky 06-01-2011 01:26 PM

Wow, the appliques really make the school house block special. Good job!

I was waiting to post my little Red school house to add some machine embroidery. Due to computer problems, haven't been able to do the embroidery. So thought I would at least post the picture to let you know I am still in this BOM.
