Does anyone have a pattern for a 10 inch house block?
Hi Everyone,
I've been googling for days now and I can't seem to find what I need. I'm making a quilt and want to put a 10 inch block of a house in each corner to represent the four neighbors. I can find a pattern for a 12 inch and an 8 inch finished block, but I need a 10 inch.
I finally thought " Hey, ask my great quilting board peers for help" So here I am, asking for your extensive knowledge and assistance.

One way would be to copy the original ('finished' size pieces, without 1/4" seam allowances) at 84%, then add your new 1/4" seam allowances.
12" x .84 = 10.08" That tiny fraction shouldn't make any noticeable difference, unless the block has many, many pieces.
12" x .84 = 10.08" That tiny fraction shouldn't make any noticeable difference, unless the block has many, many pieces.

You're very welcome! I understand, perfectly! Whenever there's rain in the forecast (low barometric pressure), I swear my sinuses swell and press upon my brain. When that happens, don't even ask me to add 2 + 2. Seriously! LOL

Here's one for a 10" farmhouse, but it's paper pieced:
