    Your quilt blocks are gorgeous. I the extras you added are excellent. I particularly like the apples.

    The finished product is going to be an award winner.

    I too decided to stick with PP for this project, and made my birdhouse 6'' only, smaller than peoples' houses, lol. I am getting too excited about this, can't wait until May...I am going to start playing with layouts once we get the May block.

    This is a gorgeous square. What perfect choices of fabric.
