Month 3--show small houses here

[Karla M.]

Happy to be done with Houses 3 and 4, and pleased with the houses sewn in pairs and the Mariners Compass. Ready for next month! Thank you Barbara for all of the tips - and thank you Wendy for the wonderful pattern.

Finally figured out how to add photo! I’m calling mine “Dancing around the World” and have added ballerinas in some of the houses. I have 3 granddaughters who take dance and will eventually have this quilt. More dancing “studios” to be added in the city buildings.

Finally got our background fabric and spent the week catching up. Is anyone else collecting crumbs? Lol

[Becky M.]

I AM! Wanna start making something soon but haven’t decided what yet.

I am really enjoying the process of this pattern. It’s a huge learning curve for me. I could not have done this without the videos and your blog Barbara. So grateful. My goal is to use what is in my stash so scrappy it is. Used 2 backgrounds in House 1/2 & House 3/4 as I didn’t have enough. I totally stole the colors for the compass from someone here, I love it! Looking forward to the next month.

I've finished the houses of my village. Now they are waiting for the trees.

love your background

[Josephine G.]

Finished houses. I changed up my original Houses 1 and 2, since I chose a different background. Thanks to Barbara for all your tips

Layout complete. Now to join two by two!

I feel so much more comfortable making houses this month. They're going together well and I only have 2 more to do. I decided to add some residents to my town. They will probably also make appearances in the larger buildings as well

[Sharon A.]

I think the neighbors are wonderful

Pairs sewn together and pushed tightly together so the center houses can be visualized. I am so in love with this quilt so far!!!

[Becky M.]

Houses and Mariner's compass so far. I have done some of the houses to represent the houses of my family (so there are details to add later) and the gap is my sister's house because she wants to repaint their house so she's not sure she wants the current colours immortalised on a quilt! I'll see where they're up to by the time I can't put off sewing it all together and decide then what to do.
Edit: How do I add my photo so that it shows in the post instead of as an attachment?? When I click on the attachment says it's "invalid file specified" even though it's a jpg.

I’ve enjoyed seeing everyone’s amazing quilts. I am slower than most because we are packing to move again for the second time in 2 years. My motto has been pack a box, sew a block! Love this project!
