I'm going ahead with the plaids. I got the top half of the block finished last night (roof/sky and steeple/sky) and I love how it's turning out. I'm hoping to finish the rest tonight. I'll post a picture tomorrow. I love seeing all of your pictures!
Going through my quilting books today, I found 5 more house block patterns. Each is a different style and size than the others and I can't wait to make them too! The more, the merrier. I can already see that I'm really going to love making my house quilt! :-D :-D
