Quilty Mail

This month I am the Queen Bee of the Gridsters Bee Group. The block I asked my fellow beemates to make was one I designed that I'm calling "Schoolhouse Friendship Block." I have wanted to make a schoolhouse quilt for 20 years. I thought by asking for help making the blocks, I might finally get the quilt done.

Here are the two I made when I tested the pattern. 
The roof is paper pieced and the rest of the block is pieced units. 
Here are the 4 blocks that came in the mail. 
I only expected one block from each member.
Mary made the top two. and Joan made the bottom two. 
Joan even made a pincushion with a schoolhouse. 
The pieces around the door are 1/4" wide!

I'm working on my projects for:

Cute blocks. The school and friendship worked into the block is so unique. I want to make a houses quilt this year, if there is time.
