I redrafted the original pattern in EQ7 so I could work in inches. (I just couldn't get my brain to work in centimetres as the original was 7.5 cm) This does make my blocks a little bit bigger finishing at 3 3/4"...but in cm or inches it is still small. I printed my templates onto freezer paper and set myself up to hand piece the block.
So can any of you bright sparks out there see the mistake?
Well it would seem I forgot to mirror my templates so my house will be facing the other way! :o) Doesn't really matter (unless there is some reason it should face the other way) and it is still cute.
So did I just stop at one? Well you will have to wait and see :o)
Until next time....
I highly doubt you can stop at one Jane...really! :o)

That is such a cute little block. Love it !
ReplyDeleteIt's really cute! I can't wait to see more...:o)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!!!
I KNOW exactly what you mean I just couldn't work in cm either!
ReplyDeleteI have resisted so far, but maybe not to much longer!

Your house is so cute! And I think if you make a bunch of these, you should make some facing each direction. Now that would be cute! :0)
ReplyDeleteAdorable...how could you possibly stop with one?!?
ReplyDeleteWoohoo Jane! I knew you wouldn't be able to resist for much longer and I definintely know that you won't be making just the one. With all this building going on should we be forming a union and will someone win a prize for the housebuilder of the year? If someone breaks the rules will we all have to down tools?
ReplyDeleteHappy housebuilding.
Your house is so cute!! I wanted to join in and make some of these cute little houses too - the only thing stopping me is how much I dislike handpiecing. I look forward to seeing your neighborhood :0)
ReplyDeletelove the flowers fussy cut for the window!
ReplyDeleteHow could you stop at one when the first one is soooo pretty!?! Keeping track of the directions of the asymetrical pieces is always a challenge to me. Your little house looks so English to me - love the flowers and the fabrics in your sky and roof.
ReplyDeleteWelcome in! The water is divine! LOL
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. You can do some mirror image blocks. Hey, not every house faces the same way on my street!
ReplyDeleteI'm saying NO you did not stop at one LOL! Good for you for jumping in. If I can get a few UFOs done soon, I might take the plunge myself!
ReplyDeleteIf you've got any sense, you'll stop now!
ReplyDeleteahhh gee, how cute. I love the fabrics and I have to say the chimney fabric is a real super fav!!!
ReplyDeleteI find making them like potato chips, I gotta keep going. I do NOT plan to make them all (366) but I have already completed more than I was going to, so its' kinda fun! I found the paper pieced ones easier, btw.
ReplyDelete:-}pokey
What a pretty house - love it!
