Hi: Im not sure if this is the correct spot to post. I am not good at this forum;
Im thinking to not doing the tall buildings but ending the quilt with background and squares to make the quilt square. Has anyone else done this? Is it recommended?
What will it look like? I am loving this quilt a lot. Mary

side to reduce bulk. I plan to add an applique border with blocks. Not sure if this is what you are talking about but here is a picture of mine so far. HelenWLast edited by Helen W.; 06-16-2021, 06:56 AM.

In the tall buildings template the bottom of tall building right side is curved, however in the TBLS the bottom is cut straight. Shouldn’t there be a slight curve on both sides?

Susan, the top section of TB #1 RS measures 4.25" along the top line of the shadow, including seam allowances. Check seam allowances on those two sections. The right side matches nicely. Both my patterns for this top section align perfectly.
The pattern piece for the long Shadow that is sewn to the bottom section is the size it should be, close to 6.75". If your bottom section is longer than that, I will guess your seam allowances when joining the four lower sections are slightly off.

Hi Barbara - got to the bottom of it - I was trying to be a good girl and use the 1/4 inch setting on the sewing machine, but I remade it with my own 1/4 setting I use in my head and it all worked. The rest of the buildings were too tall too because of this, but that was easily remedied. Can't add a photo here, but all is good. Thank you. Susan

Just starting Tall Building # 1. My question is about the top background sections L & J. I have enough scrapes for the small background pieces I,F. i Is there a strip width we should cut out of the background for the top section for each Tall Building to maximize our back ground fabric. Art Theory 101 for all the tall buildings?Robin Hessefort

The largest background needed is for Tall Building #4, where a strip at least 7.5" is needed--that is much wider than needed for #1. Just work each month to see the sizes needed. Be sure to cut the pieces with fabric doubled, wrong sides together, to get the mirror image pieces needed.
The instructions for cutting the outer borders is to cut 7 strips 5" wide--essentially one yard of fabric. Knowing that. you can reassure yourself you have enough background for the borders, four little houses in the city and four Skycrapers.

Barbara, I am getting ready to sew tall buildings together and noticed all of my #1 buildings are 3/8” long. 2,3 and 4 line up perfectly. I reprinted pattern again checking scale and pattern is fine. I measured each unit against the pattern and that also seems correct. I don’t remember having issues with the shadow length. Will it throw anything out of whack if I just make make each seem a bit larger?Lucy D.
