I was a bit behind and only added my trees at the weekend. But I hit a problem.
When I joined my house blocks, despite me using 1/4” seams, the houses would not lie flat. I unpicked my seams. I calculated the angle for each house block (minus seam allowances) needed to be 22.5 degrees. I discovered the tree template width provided this angle, although the height didn’t match my blocks. So I made a new template and added 1/4” seam allowances to the sides. This enabled me to carefully trim my tree/house blocks and restitch my seams. I got there in the end thank goodness! I’m hoping the height of my blocks will still work when I come to attach the roads.
