Here is mine. I placed the houses around it and realized I have a problem. For some reason I am not sure why I thought there were 8 houses of each size UGH I realized after looking at the picture it is 16 houses of each size meaning 32 houses. Okay off to make more houses.

Jenna, READ the pattern and my blog. Both say Month 1 we make 8 of Small House 1 and 8 of Small House 2. The remaining 16 houses, Small House 3 and 4, come in Month 3, different styles/layouts, same size.

Jenna - there are 8 houses each, 32 total. The first set of 8 houses #1 & 8 houses #2 (Jan). Then in March (I think), come the 2nd 16 houses, #3 & #4. The house sizes are the same, but the windows and doors are different & another slight variation on the top or lower half on 8 of houses but equal to the same length & width of others (something I read in Barbara's blog or post). Hope this makes sense.

HelenW OFFLINE Posts: 604 Thank you received: 1621	The reason I haven't been able to make my Mariner's Compass. Had to get a friends quilt done, before I work on Color My World, and it has been killing me to see all the great compasses, and not work on mine. But this is what I have been working on. Getting close to having it finished. HelenW Attachment P1010575.jpeg not found

cmannconso OFFLINE Posts: 21 Thank you received: 134	After a lot of basting and ripping and redoing, here is my Mariners compass. The background is the ceiling of Grand Central Station. I only fussy cut one triangle with my birth sign, the ram. The others are attempts to get as much gold as possible.out of the squares I cut.
