          They go in ascending order: TB 1, 2, 3, 4, all Right sides together, placed on the RIGHT side of the 4 Skyscrapers. All LEFT sides together, on the LEFT side of the 4 Skyscrapers.

            Does anyone have a plan for lining up colors of these buildings? Looking ahead to make fabrics look bright and work together

            Ends up that the updated website doesn't allow names and avatars to show unless you had a profile before the update. I have an avatar. There is no option for privacy option.

            Ready to start choosing fabrics for the Tall Buildings. Want to confirm that it is okay to keeping cutting strips of 3 1/2" from all the colors including the two blues used in the Mariner's Compass and the greens used in creating the tree tops.

              Sure. Work from leftover pieces. Don't use the black, is used in the Eiffel Tower and Centrepoint Tower. The reds are used in Big Ben so save those too.

                I had a tough time adding the roof to the piece # 5. I finally figured out i had to start it at a 45 degree angle and then it fell into place. And then I did the same with the last background piece on the other side. I feel like I missed that instruction somewhere. Anybody else have that problem? Joan

                  Roof piece "e" is kept as a rectangle. The pieces sewn to it on either side are diagonal lines.

                  Place the Roof where it goes, trim the diagonal lines of the Roof on both sides--using the add-a-quarter ruler helps. Now you can see where to place the shadow and background. On TB #1 RS, the shadow is "f", added to the right side of the roof and the background is "i", added to the left. The same is true for TB #! LS, except it has more pieces.

                  I think I've understood correctly but want to put it another way to confirm...the block six Tall Building 1 left and right sides...and subsequent buildings will be sequencing 1,2,3,4 the left of each skyscraper and sequencing 1,2,3,4 from the right of each skyscraper with the sequencing whether it is right or left beginning at #1 from the four little archway houses separating the skyscraper sets. Is this correct? Thanks.
