As a result, there is no back wall on my little church (only way to make it line up with the roofing). And I will appllique the windows, door and steeple when I make the next one.

Everyone that did PP for the first time have done an incredible job!! I have PP before, so don't know why this gave me so much trouble. I love the block, so I will attempt another.

Love Love Love your sky.

I have been lurking for years but for this BOM I had to come and join the fun. I've always wanted to do buildings. I have "borrowed" some ideas from the earlier posts and would like to thank the early posters for breaking the path. :) They are all wonderful. There is so much to learn from other interpretations of the block and I look forward to putting some of those things into the next blocks. I haven't fastened the tree yet as I'm kind of waiting to see some of the next building blocks.

I love the old brick fabric. It adds so much to the theme of the block. I have really enjoyed experiencing all the fabrics used in our church blocks. This has been more fun than I even thought it would be! :-D

I love the windows !!! Intersting that there were so many ways to treat the pieces -- I like the way you pieced the sky.

And definitely keep your tree

Awww, I just love the rooster ... so cute!
