Month 3--show small houses here

[Kris B.]

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!

[Primera]

Small houses done. Love this BOM. Greetings from germany

[Karen]

Love your background fabric and your houses. Beautiful.

[Deb G.]

You've created a lot of interest with the fabrics you chose. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe where you are!

[Beth S.]

Love your background and your house fabric choices. It really adds interest. Nice.

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

[Kris B.]

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

[Beth S.]

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.

Here is my progress so far

[Bobbie S.]

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!

[Beth S.]

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

[Angela F.]

Small houses finished. Loving the process.

[Barbara C.]

Beautiful!

[Teresa B.]

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

[Barbara B.]

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.

OOPS! Don't know what I did wrong.. I have a 4" "gap" . As a newbie, not sure how to fix or what I did wrong... Suggestions to get back on track???

[Angela B.]

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

[Kim J.]

This was fun!!

[Liberata T.]

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

[tooonce]

The yellow/black one is my favorite. I just adored that background fabric

[Nancy]

I like the red/black. It pops out more from the background fabric

[Sharon A.]

Go bold! Red & Black

[Nancy]

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.

[Patricia S.]

All my houses. I stitched them in sets of 4.
