Is there a easy nice looking block I could do ? I would like to do this swap to make a quilt for my daughter.

My house blocks are done! Looks a little like a space alien doesn't it!?

All 12 will be in the mail to Carsey by the end of the week.

anglars,
I think your blocks are really great!!!!!!!!! The points look wonderful, as well as the quarter inch seam allowance around the edges. Keep piecing!!!!!!!!!!
