It offers so many opportunities for personalization through both embellishment and quilting- you could add house numbers, decorations, people, pets, garden flowers- there are so many ways to make this quilt truly your own!

Let's use this Topic "Color My World Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful work. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.

The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.

How I interpret "trim 1/4" BEYOND seam allowance means you are trimming it to 1/2" - to me the seam allowance is 1/4" and then you trim 1/4" beyond that. Is this correct.

How about if you read that "Trim 1/4" BEYOND THE SEWING LINE". Perhaps that helps you to see you are trimming to create the exact 1/4" seam allowance needed to sew accurately as you add the next piece.

Wendy's photos in Steps 9 and 10 are well done.

Hopefully, after you make a house or two you will see the process.

Hi,
This is my first ever sew a long so I'm going slow....While i'm waiting for my kit to arrive, I am making a sample house #1. In the pattern on step 8, it doesn't say to trim (like all the other steps). Do we trim to 1/4" for roof placement?
Also, is there a finished size for small house blocks? I don' t want to get too far only to find out houses aren't correct size.
Thank you so much!

Moneil50 It tells you to trim the roof first diagonal line in the next step so you can put j piece in position to sew. And the second thing about checking your block size,
you can print the house template. Cut out the two units. Scotch tape them together, but be sure to tape sewing line of bottom unit to sewing line of top unit. You should not
see the seam allowance that is in the middle. Then you lay it on your house and if it matches you have it correct. HelenW

Look at the finished quilt, you will see how the small houses are situated. After month 3, two houses will be joined into a pair so the tree can be built on top of one pair. Do not sew them together until all 32 small houses are made and then only in pairs.

After all 16 trees have been added, the 16 pairs will be joined to make a full circle. In Month 5 the Roads are built and added, in a specific manner, to the center and small house circle.

You will have to plan your colors carefully to get the design you want. It sounds lovely.

All the steps appear to be there so I don’t understand the question. After adding the roof, trim to create 1/4” seam for piece j. After adding j, press and trim to create 1/4” line for piece k. After adding piece k, firmly press entire upper section and trim 1/4” beyond seam allowance lines. Remove paper and join upper half to lower half.

The pattern, printed accurately, is the measurement for the finished size.
