PatinNC OFFLINE Posts: 8 Thank you received: 45	Thank you, I'm still figuring out where the dividing lines will fall. I'm considering replacing the four big unique buildings with trees, but that leads to more thinking: is the tree on the border of in the center of the season? If on the border, is it half of each season? For now I plan if able to keep up, to make pieces and then figure out placement later.

roxannecooper OFFLINE Posts: 53 Thank you received: 143	So I tried this wax deal yesterday and ... wondering what the advantage is of doing it this way and if there's any reason I just could use something like quilter's select print & print or some similar product. The quilt will be used as a wall hanging.

I'm hoping to draw from my stash and organize each quadrant into one of the four seasons. I'm assuming that I'll divided number of houses/buildings by four and color each fourth by a season. So 8 total houses means two of each season.

Is there anything wrong with this thinking?

PatinNC, Barbara said there are 32 small houses. 4 seasons divided into 32 is 8 houses for each season color. There are small house 1 and small house 2. So that means
you need to make 4 small house 1 and 4 small house 2 for summer, same for the other 3 seasons. Here is a diagram. Fun idea to do it by seasons. HelenW

YOU WOULD BE RIGHT IF YOU ARE DOING THEM JUST FOR MONTH 1; I WAS THINKING OF THE WHOLE SMALL CIRCLE OF HOUSES.

gypsyrivergang OFFLINE Posts: 2 Thank you received: 3	Yes, when sending to printer using my iPad the square was 15/16". Barbara suggested I try using my big computer and its printer, I did, and the 1" is perfect. I also tried an old HP enlarging by 108% and it worked to get the 1" as well.

I did not have to enlarge the size. It worked both ways with the scaling set to None and printer settings to Custom Size, use 100% scaling (instead of sizing None). Test square is 1" square both ways. Maybe you need to update your printer drivers???
