This House Block isn't difficult, but it does have quite a few pieces. There are oodles of landscape fabrics available to use in this type of block, if you choose to make it realistic. How about making four blocks -- one to represent each season of the year? Sew them together side-by-side to make a pretty wallhanging -- or even a table runner. I think the house would also look good pieced with solid fabrics in the Amish style. The House Block finishes at 12-inches square.
