Month 3--show small houses here

[Helen C.]

Have really enjoyed doing this. Using my hand-dyed cottons and batik fabric.
Quick tip use freezer paper off cuts to number houses so they go together in the correct order.
this is not going very well posting may have multiple photos

Caught up!

Decided to call mine “Dancing around the World”, adding ballerina fabric into the houses. And I have fabric with dance terms for city dance “studios” when we make those buildings. I have 3 granddaughters who take dance & will someday get this quilt.

[Pat C.]

I am having fun with this project. I find selecting the fabrics to use is the most time-consuming process. But this is a fun and gratifying quilt to make.

I’m loving how it all coming together! Still deciding whether to do the trees or not. I just love the rainbow galaxy background

[Sharon A.]

Color Your Universe. How about a UFO or two instead of trees?

[Becky M.]

BARBARA, can you please tell me what to do so that my photo shows up with my post from yesterday? I thought I attached it correctly but a long rectangle with a lot of letters & symbols is all that is there— TYIA for any help with this!

I'm confused. 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..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!

Did your 1 inch block measure correctly for Small House 3? If so, check the 1 inch square for houses 1 and 2. That would be my first suggestion. You might not have had actual size checked before you printed the pattern.

I had the issue between my 1 and 2. heidimunk is correct. How I suggest you determine the error is to 1)print a new 1 or 2. 2) verify the scale is correct by measuring the 1 inch block on the pattern. 3) Make it and see if it's different from your first set and if it is the same size of your 3. I am so sorry -

[Judy]

Yes i double checked my 1" square to make sure they were correct. Any other suggestions.Please let me know the lengths of your houses, this will help me with my next step

[Merle A.]

I’m not sure of the background fabric indication for month 3. Small houses Nr 3 and Nr 4. There are 2 options that don’t concur

[Carole B.]

Finally finished stitching my small houses to the wholecloth linen background. Now on to planting trees!

[sewskeel]

I have all my small house done but I have a gap. Should I be worried?

I like sparkles so in they go on the "music" house.

[CarolLang]

I am loving this quilt! My Cherrywood fabrics are creating the most colorful city! I am happy to learn about the freezer paper method also. It is working smoothly.

Here are my houses. Every house is a different coloured fabric, although 2 of the yellows are very close. There are several repeats of roof colours as I used some 21/2 jelly roll fabric for 10 of the houses which wasn't big enough for the roofs.
I have sewn more then 2 together as i had a Gap when I first placed them on my wall and I wanted to check if was just the unsewn seam allowances. I also figured if I can sew a patch onto the knee of a pair of jeans I could manipulate the fabric to do the trees.
As you can see i have done a multi coloured compass. These were the Jelly roll colours.
