    Here is my centre using Kaffe Collective fabrics for the houses, trees and roads, and sunflower grunge for the background.

      Here is my center through month 5. I finished it in late June but just now getting back to month 6 and 7. Mine is a 74% reduction, measuring about 34" across. I'm not happy with how the first road turned out but tried it twice and just didn't want to reattach again.

        I have my inner and upper roads on, but my upper road has lots of crinkles. I'm thinking I may need to remove it and try again although I used heaps of pins.

          Does your center measure 43.5” including seam allowances? Check in several directions.
          To find the post I made about that I searched the forum for Size of center

        progress so far. I used felting for tree tops and will do FMQ once quilt top is complete.

            I have completed my centre. It is an inch too narrow, so not quite sure where I have gone wrong, except that I know it will be in the seams, possibly in attaching the roads, as I was trying very hard to be accurate all the way round. I have made my inner road different as there are many country roads in New Zealand that are not tar sealed. This reminds me of growing up in a rural town. I have just completed all my tall building up to No 3, so am feeling very happy with my progress.

                My center - finished a couple wks ago, as I now work my way through the tall buildings. Only got started in July, so am pleased how it’s come together. Has been a great way to use up some of my “solids” stash.

                  Here is my center. Not much more to get caught up with everyone!! I'm so glad the roads were easier than I thought!! Thanks Barbara!!

                    For various reasons, it took me longer than I had hoped, but my center is finally complete! Pleased with the way it turned out and very happy that I followed the advice of Helen W. and went with an outer garden rather than doing something different. Anxious to finish up my tall buildings, small houses and corner skyscrapers.

                        Carole B, You did it again. It is absolutely fabulous!!! You are right up there with the Sue Sparo's of this world when it comes
                        to wool felt embroidery. What a fun pattern to work with. Alex said she likes it when quilters take a pattern and Just Run With It.
                        We certainly have done that. HelenW
