Elizabeth M. I understand - I had the same feeling. I opted to just add trees to every other two house unit. Then I decided to applique smaller circles on top of tree trunks for the in between 2 house units. That way I see more background fabric.
-
Elizabeth, You do have great looking background fabric. It would look fine if you leave the trees out.
What I like about the trees though is that it gives that additional circular ring to keep the theme of the circles going. Don't forget you will have a lot of the background fabric in the outside borders. The other thing about the trees is it adds a bit of interest to the color palette. You also could audition adding some trees but not a ring of trees. Maybe 8 instead of 16 just to see what it looks like. You could lay your
green fabric out and put the house ring on it leaving about the amount that would be for trees and take a picture with green and without green and then make a decision just on what looks best to you.

I am wondering if it would be better to sew the wedges together first and then appliqué the tree tops on afterward so they would not have to be a part of the seam. It seems like it might add a bit of bulk with the small edge of the tree possibly in the seam. I remember the original instructions said to sew houses 1-4 together, and if so, how would you insert the top of the tree into the seam without ripping out that part of the seam? That is what made me think perhaps they squeeze in on top. I haven’t tried it yet, but it doesn’t seem like there will be enough of a 1/4 inch seam left on either side of the treetop to catch it in the seam without losing some of the tree curve. It is hard to visualize how it will fit without doing it, I guess. Thanks in advance for any tips. I do overanalyze sometimes!

Pat C, I would make up a tree top, then just use a large basting stitch to put it onto the two houses.
If you do two, you could check the seams and decide if they are going to be too bulky. Barbara said
to press the seam open so that would reduce some bulk. Remember if you press your seams open,
you CAN NOT stitch in the ditch for quilting, and people that don't have a long arm might be thinking
that ditch stitching would be a good quilt technique. HelenW

Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with the size of the templates for Month 4? I am using the same printer and the 1 inch square has been 100% accurate for the first 3 months but this month is about 1/16th inch too small. Seems strange and I can fix it but don't know why the printer would vary this month.
