Roads attached and circle pretty flat. After pinning I hand basted roads to compass for easier sewing at the machine. Also did the same for the upper road and then attaching the the compass and houses. Only took a few minutes more and made sewing it all together a breeze.

Liberata, That is a great idea to hand baste after pinning. I have used that in fiddly situations before with great success. HelenW

I have roads and they lay flat!

[Liberata T.]

Really love the night background fabric.

I am afraid my finished circle may be a bit large, measuring 43.5 inches. Someone else commented hers measured 43 inches. Wondering if I should take my outer road off and re-do. My compliments on all the wonderful work. I can’t seem to post any likes.

Just read below, yours is perfect measurement.
I wouldn't unpick anything that's perfectly stitched. There's a lot of wiggle room given all the bias stretch, so you could absolutely absorb extra into the next round or fudge it to become a little larger if required, it's very forgiving. Having said that, because it's paper pieced and cut to size, it's unlikely to be out by much at all.

Josephine, yours if PERFECT! The center should be 43.5" INCUDING SEAM ALLOWANCES after it its complete with both roads.

Thanks so much Barbara. I am just delighted that I am on track...so far. Btw, I think I used every pin I own for the roads.

Thank you, Barbara, for the great videos and blog. This month was much more intimidating to think about than to actually do...step by step, millions of pins, and slow and steady sewing. Ready for the tall buildings.

[Barbara B.]

Wish I had a LOVE button!

Thank you!

Haven’t sewn compass/rd to houses yet but both rds are attached. Attaching the Rds were a challenge!

[Jane B.]

I think I held my breath through the entire process. Well, it felt that way

[Barbara B.]

I totally understand! Looking good.

[Sigrid A.]

I added the roads to my village. And all came together without problems

[Lynda B.]

My Center so far. Will wait to attach the outer roads when the rest of the buildings are done.

[Angela B.]

It took a while, but it’s good to have this part done.

Since I'm holding off on building my outer road, which will also include water, until the city buildings get started, I thought I'd share my wool on linen wholecloth quilt. This has been such an enjoyable experience. I've learned so much from everyone and appreciate all the encouragement with my out of the box take on this amazing design. It's been fun really making this my own. Happy Mother's Day to everyone!

Just gorgeous!!!

[Cindy S.]

It's hard to express how amazing this is! You are an inspiration! Your handwork and details are incredible!

[Syndy G.]

So gorgeous, love that it's uniquely you, as they all are even while everyone's doing the same project, they are all unique in their own way, and take on the palette and creative preferences of the quilter (was going to type 'sewer' but that's just so wrong ). Go girls!

Here is my centre. I love scrolling through the images and seeing all the beautiful colours being used.

[Jean E.]

I have the center together! I worried that the outer road and houses wouldn’t fit the inner road and compass, but patience and pins did the trick.

[Lynnanne]

My center is 60%. I’m not sure if I posted it right. Anyway, I think this is a very well done pattern. The roads fit in just fine even though my sewing isn’t always great.
