Gosh, you can really see your progress! It's amazing! They are all going to look so cute put together in a quilt. I really like the sky with stars fabric on the seventh one. Keep the pics coming, it's inpiring to see you keep at it.

I think you are soooo close with #7. Notice how the line from house to roof to sky is nice and smooth. If you took your square ruler, you could square that block without losing a lot of the roof point.
You had asked Moonpie about trimming your block as you go along but I didn't read anything about "squaring" your blocks. That is one of the goals (or should be) so your blocks can be joined (with or without sashing) into rows. If they are not of equal size, then you will have a problem with wonkyness.
Keep up the good work! It is really rare that your first block becomes a masterpiece. Just look at how far you have come and how neat your last block looks now. Great job!
