All my houses. I stitched them in sets of 4.

[Barbara Black]

These are how far I am now.....can't wait to put 2 by 2 together now and then wait on the trees so we can "plant" them!! God bless y'all!

i love your background.

Do you mean you have 8 sets of 4 houses sewn together? Why?

[MikeBlueEarth]

Two photos of my small houses - one with my assistant Charles - and the other with the color layout. I am enjoying this quilt. A big thank you to all the folks at TQS - but especially Alex and Barbara. -Mike

Houses finished. Having so much fun with this BOM!

[GramKat]

I am in love with your background fabric.

i'm loving the panda in the window!

[qwilltr]

I love your background choices!

[gandvlee]

I used envelopes and letters for the background because that’s how my world connects!

[clarkleigh]

Finished my small houses. Really pleased with the freezer paper piecing. We are in lockdown so using my stash.

[BethS]

I like the dark background--looks like night time.

OOPS! Don't know what I did wrong.. I have a 4" "gap" . As a newbie, not sure how to fix or what I did wrong... Suggestions to get back on track???

Are they all sewn together, or just in pairs of two?

[moneil50]

Pairs only

Your house 'spectrum' is very appealing to the eye!

[PhillippaK]

Here are my houses, sewn in pairs just waiting for next month.

I'd say it's just because you haven't done the seams that join them all together and it will work out when you finally do those seams. I wouldn't worry about it until then. Your houses look great!

[moneil50]

Thank you... I am a bit worried as others seem to fit much better

[beckymn]

I'm still working on this month's houses. I love seeing what everyone else is doing, they all have such a different flavour to them. Will post mine when I've finished.

[Grammasue52]

Houses sewn in pairs and I THINK in an order I like. Sure is a long time waiting between months! Just finished sewing 4 yds of brown binding into bias tubes for trees. Have a 2nd pkg of it if needed.

[DebbiG]

You did a great job arranging your order of houses. I like the black 'pops' of doors and windows.

Enjoying this BOM project, thank you Barbara for your continued advice and sharing your knowledge.

Carole, what plans ,if any do you have for buildings? Or if you are doing buildings, or more houses? My concern is that if I embellish the small house, will it look funny if buildings are not equally embellished? Thank you.

At this point, I’m thinking what type of buildings I will use. Plan on including local businesses that are our favorites (restaurants and shops) along with special places we’ve traveled to. As far as embellishing, mostly will be signs with the business names and try to add any distinguishing architecture.

I wouldn’t worry about differences between houses and buildings. IRL, houses tend to have more details than buildings.

Carole, I am curious as to what detailing you will add to tall buildings.. I too am doing a bit of details, but I have no idea how to handle the tall building!
