Thanks Helen, for giving me an idea. Since I'm using an 1/8" scale, I can draw the individual houses in EQ starting as rectangles. I may have to use 1/16" scale for placing some of the lines. Or I could draw them twice the size and use a 1/4" and 1/8" scale. I know the top and bottom measurements for drawing the angle. Then I can color them and print each individual block, cut them to size and arrange them in a circle. I will be able to see the finished results without sewing a single seam! And I can recolor them as many times as needed until I get what I want. First I will have to import my fabrics. Not today though.

Paper mock up of half circle: I have been wavering back and forth between applique or paper pieced. It will be at 60%. My 100 % had a perfect 1" square to check size.
I set my printer to 60% and made a bunch of copies. I cut and taped them together matching side wedge sewing lines. I laid it on the cutting mat. And my half circle is not
a half circle. Yikes. I have to leave for errands right now, but this makes me really nervous for all the people making wedges. Do you see from this screenshot that I might
have done wrong? I did find that house one and house 2 was 1/16 inch off across the bottom lines if you matched at the top. HelenW

Helen, when the patterns are scaled down, from the original pattern, remember the seam allowance is included there so you have scaled that down too.
My engineer husband agreed with my thought that a problem could develop because of that. So, I wrote a few days back that anyone adjusting the pattern has to be prepared to make adjustments if they don't get a complete circle or their circle is too big. Perhaps making trees wider, etc. I cannot fix that.
I know the original pattern fits the roads as it must. If changing the original, you probably have to fudge and adjust throughout.

House 1 = 1 13/16 or 1.8125
House 2 = 1 23/32 or 1.71875
This is a difference of 0.09375 or 3/32 with House 2 being narrower.
Should both houses be the same width at the bottom? If so, which is the correct measurement?
ETA: This is with printing at 100%Carole Berry

The lower edge of Small House 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, not including seam allowances, are about 1.75". That is close enough, no reason to work with any measurements beyond 1/8"s. These patterns are hand drawn so there may be slight variations. And I did not take into account that lower edge is slightly curved, I measured straight across..
I purposely don't want to give these kind of measurements because that leads some to agonize over if theirs are "exact' enough. If that happens here, I will just take my reply down.

won't get in a tizzy if they put their 32 units together and they come out short. I might make a paper half circle of original size and see if it is closer to 180 degrees.

Helen, place house 1 on house 2 and trim to the same size to see if that works. Obviously the sample quilt was made with the templates so they must work. The larger the quilt the easier it is to ease in differences. Decreasing the size seemed to make the difference greater. It's easy enough to take a slightly larger seam at the lower side edge to get an exact circle. I would sew 8 together at a time when doing the assembly and if they make a quarter circle everything is good. If they don't, make adjustments before sewing the 4 sections together.

I’m planning on doing this with wool appliqué at 65%. Using the original pattern at 100%, I redrew it using InDesign with just the actual pieces that would be wool (top and bottom of house and roof). I then reduced it to 65% and printed these out. To make a half circle, I ended up with 18 houses rather than 16. I’m fine with that (other than maybe needing more wool felt than I ordered), but I’m guessing since I’m doing hand appliqué, the houses may be more spread out. I can always add some trees or bushes to fill in. Just weird. Houses won’t be attached to my whole cloth background until we get the roads, so it’s a waiting game.
This is my first ever quilt, so I’m flying blind, but definitely appreciate this supportive community of talented people. Thanks for putting up with all my questions and concerns!
Best, CaroleCarole Berry

Thinking ahead to Month 2 only because I am one of those quilters that like to build a circular quilt from the center out. And yes, I do love changing it up!!!
I like quilters to think to themselves, Oh, That is a Wendy Williams pattern, but I never have seen THAT ONE. Makes me smile just to think about it.
So,Going back to Month 2. The mariner compass has the road around it. I was at first thinking I would change the color of those black sections to greens and make
them lawns for my small houses. Then I started looking at Mariner Compass quilts and really like these three add ons beyond the compass. They are in a pattern
by Lessa Siegle. I will be auditions lots of ideas. I already plan to make a multi colored compass. HelenW
