    I'm confused. I don't see anyone having the problem I'm having. I did my house 1 &2 without any problem. Now I'm working on house 3 and it is way longer than house 1 & 2. So is my house 1&2 to small or is house 3 to large. Can anyone give me the length of their houses. I haven't worked on house 4 yet because i"m so confused. I used the same computer and printer to download the patterns. Please someone help me!

      Barbara,
      All well & good! But now I see that House Nr 4 asks for a ROOF piece of 4x4.
      I have steamed and pressed my fabrics and started out with cutting WOF strips of 3,5” and 2” ——- of all the colors from my stash.
      Is it wise to cut WOF STRIPS of 4”?? There’s no way to calculate how the TALL HOUSES are going to be.
      Please advice ...

        No reason to cut 4” strips. Roof for Small House 4 is cut 3.5” x 4”

      Merle, My pattern said the roof piece for house 4 is 3 1/2 by 4 inches. Lay out your 3 and a half strip and measure 4 inches and cut. I think you just misread the pattern. HelenW

        Hi, Can you tell me how many inches, the house blocks are, including the background? For some reason, me, my SH 3s are all different sizes. I don't know which is correct. My 1 and 2 are consistent, but I haven't seen the measurements.
        Thanks!

          Check out Barbara's post in the 'Size for two small houses sewn together' forum section. She also has photos there.

            Hi! It turns out that my 1-2 houses are about 1/2 inch shorter than my 3-4 houses. Everything else is fine (1" scale; bottom curve; and angled sides all line up). I'm thinking all the houses should have been the same length, so I'm not sure what I've done wrong. Has anyone else had this issue? And, any suggestions on how to deal with it? Thanks so much!!!

              Ron, If it looks like you might be a little short at the top, you could put a half inch extension of the sky
              fabric but I think Barbara is right, it will be covered by the tree anyway. HelenW

            pin from the bottom up, the tree tops will cover any shortage
