I used 2 1/2 by 4 1/2 on top row, square on middle.

These are so pretty but I LOVE the barn raising! :-)

I'm trying to figure out the block but I'm too tired tonight. Can you please explain some more? Is it 3 squares (med/dk), 2 squares (med/dk) + 1 light square, and 1 med/dk square + the light rectangle?

Both are so pretty. I am making a scrappy 4" block quilt now, just all blocks, no stripping.

The hearts are fusible appliqué. Just drew a heart then drew another slightly larger with scallop edges. For pattern used paper folded in half so when cut out both sides are,the same. Windowed the fusible so not to thick.
