    I do love these cute little house blocks. So easy to make and quick, too. I make my roofs by trimming 1/2" off each charm square (half) to become 4.5" across by 2.5" high. Then I don't lose those points on rooftops - also, makes proper flying geese blocks! Try it, I think you'll like it. ;)
    Thanks, Susan-Claire, for another lovely tutorial!

    I just started quilting maybe 18 months ago. I discovered your You Tube videos...and of all I watch, yours are my favorite. I've learned so much. My first project was a spool quilt and instead of doing the long sashing strips, trying to line up the cornerstone on a 5' piece of fabric, I built the sashing around each block like on one of your videos. Came out great. Thanks!

    These are such cute little houses. Is there a way to prevent losing "the tip" of the roof in the seam? Your videos are so wonderful. I like the fact that you show how to strip piece so you make two houses at one time. Thank you, Ginny G.

    • @cazfromoz1
      @cazfromoz1 Před 3 lety +3

      Yes, Ginny, to make roofs (with points) trim 1/2" off each charm square (half) to become 4.5" across by 2.5" high. You won't lose points on rooftops - also, makes proper flying geese blocks! Cutting measurements for house walls are 2" x 3", door is 1.5" x 3" and lintel (above door) is 1.5" x 4.5". You'll have a slightly smaller house block, but just as cute! Try it, you'll like it. ;)

    • @cazfromoz1

      Gourmet Quilter's house blocks are very cute - and losing the points isn't a problem!

    I have just discovered this tutorial. I’ve tried to find the pattern on your website but it isn’t there. Any suggestions ?

  • @connieandrobertsturtz4318

    Cute house but there is NO seam allowance on the roof point.

    I purchased the written pattern but walls were too small when I followed those measurements

    • @GourmetQuilter

      Hi, the pattern you purchased (thank you) is not the same as shown in the video. The measurements are given in the video for using the 5” squares.
