Here is mine. I placed the houses around it and realized I have a problem. For some reason I am not sure why I thought there were 8 houses of each size UGH I realized after looking at the picture it is 16 houses of each size meaning 32 houses. Okay off to make more houses.

Jenna, READ the pattern and my blog. Both say Month 1 we make 8 of Small House 1 and 8 of Small House 2. The remaining 16 houses, Small House 3 and 4, come in Month 3, different styles/layouts, same size.

I am having difficulty piecing together the wedges at the outermost points. Bulk seems to be the problem. Do you have any videos of this?

I discussed it on the LIVE broadcast on yesterday. There is a link to that on a different topic or use the YouTube button above.

Stitch from the center out to the point, is one suggestion.

Went a different way with the center. I'm adding a border to make it queen size, so tying in some of those element into the center.

Love how you tied the star into your windows. Great color study, are you going to use those pieces in the quilt somehow?
