MONTH 6--TALL BUILDING #1--Ask Questions Here

[Ann W.]

Can we find out what order the tall buildings are going to be so that we can coordinate fabrics?

How do get my name instead of Star Member?

I had the same printing problem, when I rotated the page before printing and got it all.

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

Check your PROFILE to see if you have an Avatar there. And check the USER Settings to see if your privacy settings don't allow your name, or contact info to be shown. You can find those settings at the top of the Forum, on the right,, with a down arrow beside your name.

I am with Ann. I have an avatar that has been set up in my Dashboard. however it does not display when I'm in the Forum area. You mention user settings. There is no down arrow by my name. :-(

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.
Thanks for all your help

The Pink arrow points to the Down Arrow where you will find User Settings

That must just be for admins. My screen doesn't have those choices. Thanks for your help

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 figured it out after I sent the question! So clear now. Thank you.

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.

Yes, this is correct.
