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

Thanks so much for the paper piecing site! I have never have done it and will give it a shot tomorrow! It looks hard to get the steps down at first but it looks like you get a rhythm done after awhile. I am hoping it will work well with the Dear Jane blocks. :lol:

Do you press the seams open or to one side on this?

I worked all afternoon on my paper pieced church and had fun doing ! I never did paper piecing before! I watched the video that Dorinda posted and that is how I learned. It is really cool! I wonder about the person that invented pp...lol. Were they bored?..and a lot of time on their hands? I used the video and paused it when I needed to. The block is done! Now I am not saying I didn't have to do any ripping out! I would get something else on my mind and forget what I was doing!...so had to do some do-overs. I am back to working on Dear Jane blocks so I am going to try my hand at pp some of the blocks. I have so many ufo's in progress :0(. I work on one and think about the other. Stop it! Stop it!

Can you tell me where people have added their pictures of finished church blocks? Thank you for your help.
