Even easier if you made the 'houses' as rectangles with two upper corners 'snowballed.
Cut the corner squares a little less than 1/2 of the width of the rectangle. Jan in VA |
Thank you everyone for your help. I wish she would join the broad but I will get the info to her :)

looks to me like a square topped by a flying geese unit, then padded out with background (sky) fabric. The flying goose is the same width as the square. So for the larger ones, arbitrarily decide that they are 6X6 squares. top with a 3X6 flying goose, When these are sewn together, they make a 6X9" unit, so we need to add 3" to pad it out to a 9" block so you would add a 1.5" strip of fabric matching the sky of the flying goose to either side. If you look at the quilt, all the sky/border fabrics are solid which blends this seam in.
The dimensions I've quoted are finished dimensions. You would cut the square 6.5", the FG is 3.5 X 6.5 raw and the side strips would be cut 2X9. Should be able to figure out the smaller ones in the same way . |

If you can't find the pattern, houses are super easy, add strips to the side of a square or rectangle and snowball the corners for the large houses and do a 4 patch the same way making the houses half size. Voila, you are done.

Thanks for posting this but wouldn't the cut size of the side strips be 2 x 9.5 ? By the way, I loved your term "raw" to describe the size of the flying geese when they have been squared up ready to sew into the block. I always called them "resized" but I like your term much better.

I love this quilting board. I always learn something new when I read the posts. It helps me quilt better and avoid many mistakes. I've also learned a lot of easy short cuts. Thanks for all of the great tips you post.

And now that y'al got the pattern figured out, I would like to comment on the quilting of this piece. I like how it starts out very straight and exact on the bottom row but then as the rows continue up the quilt, they becomes wavy. Love the feeling of movement.
