    Small houses 3 and 4 are done. What a difference a full circle of blocks makes! Now it's time to start sewing pairs and putting up the design wall. This has been so much fun!

      Hello from Austria
      I love this BOM too and I also love to see the various color schemes and interpretations of this quilt. So this is mine and it's so hard to wait until April

        What a great touch that your background fabric includes a world full of country names!

        It is so interesting to see this done in a particular color scheme. It is amazing how different they all look. I really like the choice of background fabric--very appropriate for this quilt.

        I finished my small houses 3 & 4. They are addictive; so much fun to do. I love the freezer paper method using the stitch in the ditch foot!

          I love the different background and house fabrics everyone is using. This almost makes me feel like the houses are about to take flight.

        Barbara, Did you still cut the 3-1/2" strips for convenience when making houses 3 and 4?

        • Barbara B. commented
          Editing a comment
          Yes. With Month 1 I started with 3” strips and wished I had done 3.5” so I stuck with that. It is an easy size to get the pieces from and is much more efficient than cutting each piece from the full size piece of fabric. I could have all the house fabrics in view, the 3.5” strips, and all the rest of the fabrics were put away— until I needed to cut another 3.5” strip.

          I had a similar problem but I just moved the houses closer to the compass— problem solved!

          Finished small houses and joined in blocks of 2 as described. Now I can't decided which compass to use.

          michelle, it is either the seam allowances that join the pairs—maybe too wide, or the way they are overlapped on the wall. I can’t tell if they are all pinned together or just sitting side by side, overlapped.
