Here's another house. This one turned out better and without too many issues. It's also a 12 1/2". I've run out of sky fabric. Good thing I'm going to the LQS this weekend. I figured I can get everything else done except the roof and sky and have them all lined up for when I get the fabric.

For my first house, I went for a more traditional look. I'm sure Frank Lloyd Wright designed traditional before he went modern. :)
As you can see, I did have some technical issues. It's not exactly square. I was going for 12 1/2". I've learned a lot making this block. I think I might be able to tackle some others. They make up really quick. I'll join the swap.

Seriously for those of you that this is the first time you have made a house this way, you guys are doing AWESOME. I think I burned my first attempt because I couldn't even make it square because I had jigs and jags sticky out every which way! LOL

You guys are making such cute squares- I am totally pleased to be in this (my first swap.) I took myself to the sewing machine and scrap pile and made 7 9 inchers last weekend, and 2 3 inchers. it is so much fun! Will put in a photo tomorrow when I have an extra minute. I can't wait to find time to make some more!
I have really enjoyed getting inspired at the flicker link you gave us, Rachel- that gal had a bunch of really adorable ones, with lots of inspiration for me!
LaurieE - When you see my larger square, you will know we had the same architect- hee hee.
