That was probably what I needed, but I am still baffled. Maybe I am making this too hard. What I did was measure each area and cut out a piece of fabric including the 1/4 inch seam allowance, but when I sew them together the smaller ones are too small. Maybe I need to not measure and just cut a piece I think is big enough to cover the area. Hmmmm, I think I'm on to something there. Because I see with your pieces they are not cut like mine. Wow, I just wasted a lot of fabric I think. LOL No worries though, it can always be used for something else. Thank you Luv for being so kind to take the time to explain!!! Now, unfortunately, I have to get up early for work and need to get to bed. :-( I will try again tomorrow night. At least now I feel a little more optimistic about it. Thank you!!!

Your Church block is wonderful. I love the darker colors that you picked for the church. What an awesome job!!

Yeah, there are some problems. My disability is out of my control, but within my control is my imagination.

bottom of square really brings out details of the church. Love seeing the different interpretations in each block. Thanks
