The house block can be any size. Use some of your wild fabrics. And just have fun. Just let me know how many you would like to make. And then you will get the same number back. Mail the blocks to me with a SASE. Sign-up till the 15th of April. The blocks will be due on May 15th. I will then send the blocks back to everyone by May 18th. Please ask questions if this is clear as mud. Thanks, Barbara

This is a very forgiving block. And using scraps make it better. Hopefully more will join us!! If not we will make a small village......spread the word.

I think what ever size you want to make .... keeping with the wonky theme. 5 more days then we will know how many folks want to do this. What do you girls think ...if we have a small group should we make one house for each person?

I agree - one for each. Also a uniform size, maybe in the neighborhood of 8-12". Just me thinking out loud - take it for what it's worth.

Okay looks like we have the start of a village!!! I agree with the blocks need to be in the 8" -12" range......Pieced or applique your choice ..... looks like we have seven of us. Everyone make six blocks and send them to me in a month. I will swap the houses around and get them back to you!! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. This is all about having fun!!!

This is going to be so much fun!
Just a quick question - do we have a consensus on size? 8-12" is a great range - can we get a bit more specific?
Thank you so much! I was eyeballing the fat quarters at the fabric store, just ITCHIN' to pick up an extra few for this...
