Great job on all the houses!! I started mine yesterday at a bee sew day, but too much chitchatting, thus mistakes, and froging, so I put it away. Will try again today.

I used to bypass any quilt pattern that had pp because I didn't know how to do it and was too intimidated to give it a try. After these first two BOM blocks, I now feel confident that I could try just about anything that comes my way. I think that's really added to my fun here. :-D :-D
So cute and the plaids you picked work so well and you lined up the lines so well. I usually try to stay away from anything with lines but looking at all yours I might give it a try...Very well done

This is my farmhouse block...a little crooked. This is my second attempt at pp'ing and I didn't have any trouble with the church, but I did with this farm house. I might redo it later, but for now, this is it! Everyone is doing a wonderful job, as usual. This is really a lot of fun and am looking forward to the next one...also am doing the star BOM.

What a great farm house block!! :thumbup: I think a black border would be wonderful. Did you see the house block with the dark brown border? It really made it pop!! Good work.
:D :D :D :D
Thank you. I did see the brown boarder and loved it. My DH said that black would make the colors pop.

Laura your's is so colorful. The apple tree and lawn are wonderful.
Still haven't attempted to do mine, I just have a hard time with PP. I also feel that if I can do this one, I can do any others. This one is very intimidating. So many small pieces.
There are a lot of small pieces, but you can do it. I did a lot of pinning and checking before I sewed. :) I think for my next farm I will stay away from directional fabric. :thumbup:
