    I agree that the blue roof appears to be floating. With that being said, I'd be happy in any exchange where I received either of these blocks.

    Please show us all the blocks you get from the exchange. I think this sounds like a fun exchange and could make a wonderful calendar quilt.

    I like them both. If it were me I would do them all different. Love the gingerbread idea. Maybe a Santa in the window or a snowman outside.

    Thanks for all the comments. The blocks all have to be the same is part of the guidelines.

    The brown for the barn is a homespun (and hard to get straight without it wiggling) and I'm thinking of going a whole different route.

    I have some wonderful Sunbonnet Sue Christmas designs and might just swing completely over to that and use some "barn wood" dark red fabric for the barn and criss cross gray graphics for the roof.

    I think I like the yellow roof best because it makes the bow and Santa etc pop a little more. But I honestly could go with either one. Very cute.

    I think I like the one with the yellow roof. The designs seem to stand out more on that one. You have a good idea for the sunbonnet sue also. That is kind of a fun challenge. It will be interesting to see what all the blocks look like at the end.
