I am very pleased that this all worked really well nice and flat, my roads have become pavements for walking only

I have 36 houses instead of 32! I actually trimmed the houses using the template before rather than after each double house section was completed. Therefore the house circle didn't fit , it was 8 inches too small. So I made another four houses which really worked exactly . 32x 1/4 inch from each house that had been trimmed equals 8 inches. I bit of a fiddle but I can live that.

A few small snags, but I am really enjoying this challenge.

I changed a few things. Multi colored trees, did some embroidery on some of the house blocks. I went with cobblestone and brick streets. I got to take in all the suggestions posted to do went putting mine together slightly delayed due to move from winter home to summer home and small vacation between. Love this quilt, the process and this group as we continue our journey.

I am also doing the A-Z quilt for my future 1st grandson. Will be working on the appliqué letters as most blocks are pieced. I have the appliqué blocks to do. Anyone else working on this quilt. Not much activity on that string.
Happy Quilting!!!

I have just decided to do the A-Z quilt, too. I don't want it too big, so I am thinking of doing all the letters with different fonts on my embroidery machine, I haven't decided what scale to use.Hope that doesn't make the piecing of the other blocks too tiny! Robin Grube

I decided to do more of a 'Fall' look to my trees. At first I didn't think this would come together, but it surprised me and I am really happy with the outcome. Thanks for all the help. . . . from everyone on the blog. Various questions and comments have really helped along the way.

Had to make my Mariners compass over again because it was a little too small, but the roads went on easily with lots of pinning….Thanks for your videos, Barbara. They helped tremendously.

Thank you Barbara for all your great tips and videos. Paying attention to the center guideline for the white strips on the road pieces made all the difference! Here is my village so far - so looking forward to adding the city's buildings! Grateful that it too lies flat - kind of a wonder, right? Thank you Wendy Williams!

My center as of 5-22

Here’s my center. You’ll see a few things are different. I made the Mariners Compass using the AccuQuilt die because I could! It was 12”, so a coping circle was necessary. I’m using fabrics mostly from my stash. The music themed background came from a yard sale, I think. Also I made a booboo on the circle of houses. I had all the random mess of small pieces of fabric left out in my work area and thought, why not go ahead and make what I thought was the next month’s houses - counted them but didn’t notice they were going to be different. So all my houses are 1’s and 2’s!! Also I used “knobby” yarn for the tree trunks!

Wilma, that's great. I, too, didn't know months 1 and 3 Small Houses would be different--since I was under a tight deadline I just kept working ahead so there are only a few Small Houses 3 and 4 in mine. I did mention this in the blog and videos I did for those months.

Wilma, Love your creativity. Wish these pictures on the forum were larger or would let you zoom to see all the beautiful details.

In reply to HelenW. comment about the small pictures, when I click on the picture a box comes up in the top left of my screen with a thumbnail, and then I click on that to see the enlarged photo.

Okay, it is not as flat as I would love it to be, but it is okay. I am very happy to have managed to get so far and I like my different tree fabrics. Der Weg ist das Ziel. Am so very happy and thankful that I joined in this journey.

I’m excited that I got month 5 done a week ahead of time. I found that I needed to glue the bottom of the houses closed to get the inner circle to lie flat.

[Genie W.]

I'm excited that my center went together fairly easy, but I wish I had stayed stitched the inner circle of the small houses right after they were put together as some of the seams wanted to come apart. I did stay stitch them, fixing the spreading seams before I attached the inner roads. Thanks for all the tips you've given Barbara!

[Carol M.]

I stay stitched and it gathered just slightly so I had to remove the stay stitching. Haha, long journey.
I used the freezer paper to paper piece using one template for each piece and I back stitched on each end. that is what saved me.
