Kit Block 2 and Revised Block 1

I decided to remove the striped fabric from block 1.   It now has a new look and it is not constructed very well but I did the best I could after ripping out the block and starting over.   I have completed blocks 2 and 3.  They are just alike.  I've decided to change one of the inner borders - I'll replace the striped fabric with a different purple print that I had on hand and it coordinates well.   Block 1 is the one with purple blender.  The blocks are 15 1/2" unfinished.

I found this little house block on McCalls website today.  I think it's too cute - wouldn't some tall pine trees (made from flying geese be cute next to this house.   The house is 5" X 10".

I went to Mama's Log House this past Wednesday in order to use my gift certificate.   Found just what I was looking for and asked for (and received) a couple of NICE door prizes for the retreat.
