I had a little trouble with the house block, and even though it isn't perfect, it will do. Set in seams have never been my favorite technique.
Here are all the blocks so far.
BTW, I forgot to add the giveaway will close on Saturday night. That will give me Sunday to get packages ready to mail.
Have a wonderful thursday!

Oooh! I love your blocks!!
I'm working on mine today.
Still stuck on what I should use for my background for the Pink Lemonade quilt. *sigh*
Happy stitching!

Enjoyed seeing your Just Takes 2 blocks. They look good. I'm working on those also, but struggling a little with the heart block from the 1rst section. Applique is not my best skill.
all of your blocks look great and i'm starting to get curious about how they are all going to be put together . . .
:-)

Those are wonderful, wish I had the time to quilt or just a brain to think with, lol.

Love these blocks.....it's looking really good, Lori!
I love the reds, but I'm not going to start another project. I'll have to be content looking at all the others in blog land.
Take care
These blocks look really fun. I'm not on great terms with "Y" seams, either.
Loving the red and white blocks. I like that you are using different red prints, they look great!
Lovin' the scrappy blocks. That fabric in the top right block is amazingly beautiful. I've left the house to the last block too!
Love how your blocks are looking. That house block can alway be a bugger! I've got the first set done and ready to start on the second.
Your Just Takes Two is looking wonderful! It seems it is a year for house blocks too!
Your blocks look awesome. Those pesky house blocks always look so easy, but they never are. I try to avoid those 'y' seams whenever possible. I actually don't mind hand piecing them, but I am not that skilled at hand piecing. LOL.
Keep stitchin
'Y' seams can be hard. The Fons and Porter show last Saturday showed a nice tip. They start stitching 1/4th to 1/2" away from the corner to the dot then turn the piece around to stitch the seam to the next dot in the corner. No popped stitches that way. SEWING dot to dot. They draw the seam line on the back of each piece too. I'm going to try it on that School House Block. Thanks for warning us. Yours look good. I have a couple left to do from the first set also.
Your blocks look wonderful! I need to get busy with mine, just trying to get a few things done first. :-) Have a happy day!
This is going to be a cutie! Our snow is almost all gone, but I love the rain we are getting! Hopefully you won't get the ice my friend in WA is getting now! Keep warm and cozy....
Your blocks look great! I love that you are using all different red prints.
So pretty! Good for you for keeping up!
Oh, YAY! You are using scrappy reds! I was so tempted to do that, but went with solids for mine, just because I never work with solids. I will enjoy watching yours come together!
Lovely blocks! I haven't started yet, but I did buy background fabric. I can't decide if I want to use scrappy reds (love yours) or use a 6 yard piece of navy that I have.
All your blocks are looking quite wonderful!!!!
Those blocks look fantastic! I love the red and white.
looking good Lillian, that house block was "a Bitch" you did a great job of it
Unusual and beautiful, love the layout:))
Lori your blocks are beautiful. I've got the patterns, just haven't had time to work on them. Hugs
I have finished Pink Lemonade. It was fun and went together like butter. I am also working on the Take Two in red and white. I added embroidery to some of the blocks. Starting on the second set tomorrow is the plan. Thanks for the Pink Lemonade. I really ejoyed making it.
I love the house!! ( I can see a whole quilt of just houses)
and I love the fabrics for all the blocks....its going to be a great quilt
Lori your blocks look great and I so love your color way
Your blocks look great and I think I am going to be jealous when everyone gets these quilts finished!

Your blocks are beautiful. I love the variety of reds. I'm trying hard not to be tempted and add another project to the pile, but yours are making it hard to resist.
Looking good Lori!
Lori, your R&W blocks are looking fabulous!! btw i love the different reds you're using!!
