Last block ladies

Janet,
 I hope you like your house block, kinda wonky my way. The hardest part was cutting between the fingers..
My sofa is under the block; the block actually has an all green background.
 Now, on to the last block. 
I found this on http://www.dontcallmebetsy.com/2012/03/patchwork-wheel-block-tutorial.html. The quilt block is Patchwork Wheel Quilt  block tutorial and it's fun. I'm going to send the background fabric out to each and want you to use your scraps please. It's a 12.5" block, square up if you like, or not. I like bright and funky fabrics. I am in no rush, obviously with the holidays everyone was very busy. I put my block on the back burner and just plain forgot it. Forgive me Janet.

She has an awesome blog and a great tutorial for this block. I bookmarked her so I could return and take my time going through her blog.

Thanks for the fun year ladies and nudging each other on to go outside our comfort zones, or maybe that was just me! Happy New Years and thank you.

Phew! Just made it

Hi Janet, i was so excited to be making a wonky house for you........my favourite way of messing around with fabric. Then life got in the way........no excuses, no worries but also no time to spread out stuff and sew.
Finally at 8.30 pm on December 31st, 2013 I have finally made your block. I'm sorry it won't arrive this month or even this year but it's finished, a smidgeon oversize so you can cut it down to fit.
Have fun putting together your quilt.
Hugs Sue.

Finally.....I finished a house

Janet,
I am not great at making houses.  Working with things like this without a pattern is difficult.
I hope you like it.  I can not wait to see what you will do with these houses.
hugs
