    Gorgeous! I love your fabric choices. Stunning! Your 'mistake' is your identifiable mark. No one can claim your quilt/block as theirs as it has your stamp on it...people used to intentionally make mistakes in their quilts for this reason. you're absolutely right in keeping it that way - creative freedom!!

    This is only the second paper-pieced block I have ever done. I also was one little piece of "dark church" color short. So, I improvised. I may go back and add a bush or flower box over it. I am finished for tonight, though. I also chose to use a "night" sky. Overall, I am happy with it.

    (The webcam reversed it! Oops!)

    Looking forward to the rest of our "neighborhood."

    Cute adaptation! I am looking forward to seeing your other blocks! LOL!

    My door is all scuptured as you can see and windows are stainglass. Had fun doing it.
    I love your stunning block! Love your tree and colour choices! Wonderful!

    Ditto!!! Love those church windows.
    Thanks! The symbols mean something to me: The "g" stands for God where the doorknob would be on the church door as He opens and closes all doors, the "thread" stands for God mending us together, the "mirror" stands for His word allowing us to see ourselves and strive to have His image.
    Love your block and the meaning to the symbols.

Not perfect but fun to do. now I only have to wait 30 days for the next block to be revealed.

    looking good!
