    Math and I are not always the best of friends either. WIP are always fun to see, so I am happy you shared yours. I think the Ghastlie family in the windows would be a nice way to showcase their ghastliness.

    Window Ghastlies are good. Math can be tricky, but it's just like quilting...measure twice, cut once. It works eventually! Kd ~ www.KdQuilts.com

    Your math makes me dizzy! LOL - Anything involving a lot of math, I usually leave to someone else!
    Your project will be very cute - I like the idea of the characters peeking out of the windows!

    Adding windows would be an awesome idea. I can't wait to see the finished product, and I think you did a wonderful job with the roof. :)

    Don't feel bad about the math, I'm no where near good with math and suck at it big time. LOL I have to do it many times to make sure it's correct. So I do know how you feel about that.

    Had to laugh at your math issues. I say I do just fine with math, but on some days Quilters Math really kicks my butt...and I can never figure out what went wrong the first three times! go figure...or not!
    I like the start, and agree it would look good with peeks into the windows of who is inside...and maybe even the creepy guy with the invisible dog Peeping Tom-ing in from the outside. I'll check back to see what you come up with. I love all the inspiration on this hop! Thanks :o)

    That is about how I end up designing, then I realize it doesn't work, lol.
    But I hate ripping out and giving up, so I just keep going and make it work;)
    I love the idea of applique houses, using the characters and objects in the window, it would be so fun.

    Fussy cutting is just what your Ghastlie house needs. Maybe Edward Scissorhands can help. If we had to be a math whiz, some of us would never quilt. Funny in HS they had a class called "Bonehead Math". There's a Ghastlie thought, the Skelton could do the Math on your Quilt.

    Window peeps is the thing for sure. Ghastlies peering out through the gloom and doom of Ghastlieville. One can never have too many roof lines or windows. I'll bet cobwebs abound within the walls of your Ghastlie Mansion. Keep up the good work and will be back to see the progress!!! Sqeeee I am so Ghastlie excited.

    Math? Did you use math??? LOL I mess up so much with my figurin' it out math, sometimes I have to keep measuring and cutting up paper patterns until I get it right.
    The house looks wonderful
    and windows would be nice,

    You are too funny with the math genius part. Sounds just like me. I am so far from being any sort of math genius myself that I can totally understand. The funny thing is that all three of my boys are extremely good at math and even stranger all three are left handed which has obviously nothing to do with math but yea, none of them take after Mom. LOL

    Your block, forgetting the math part, turned out super cute. You got much further than I would have. Mine would have looked like a 5 yr old had created the pattern. haha

    I was a math major and later math teacher, and I make mistakes sometimes too. I like your idea of the Ghastlies to be in the windows. The Ghastlie roof line could be a place for maybe a few ghastlie trees in addition to the stovepipe. Love your house and like they say on tv, it has great bones!
