It is much better to learn about the seam allowance before piecing the squares, than after. I "forgot" and squared the squares to the finished size before piecing them together- made for an interesting design.

Beautiful barns ladies.
I am sad to say I am now two months behind and April's will be out on Friday. I am determined to get caught up by Friday.
I tried the farmhouse one. Did not like how it was turning out. Was emailed the "proper" pattern and will get back to work on it, especially since I bought some special buttons to use with it.

Well nothing like being at the tail end of things...
Here's my red barn - I struggled with the roof tiles & used up a big chunk of my sky fabric on redos LOL The barn door needs the crossbars painted on (I'll get the summer farmhands at that task come June) & the poor animals need a grazing area but those will come. The facial expression on the calf sums up my feelings about being able to check this one off the list!
A couple days respite & on to April's with a clean slate...
