I made my first pattern, wasn't too pleased with it, too tall and narrow. I whacked it some before sewing the 3 sections together. The test block measures 7 1/4" wide by 8 1/2 tall. I am going to make the block 8 x 8. Need to make the roof wider, bottom narrower and the door higher. I am going to use blue predominate with gold, brown olive and grey. All scrappy looking. Making the blocks in 3 sections, chimney section, roof section and the door and window section. Then sew the blocks together, so the prints won't be so matchy, matchy.

Here is pic of my first try, wish I hadn't used checkerboard.
