Help locating this pattern please
 

While in Canada in June, my bestie quilting g/f up there took me to a lovely quilt show. She would really like to make this quilt but we can't locate a pattern. I guess I should break down and but EQ7 but after just getting a long arm I should not push the envelope any further with my husband :( Anyways here is a picture of the quilt she would like to make. Any help greatly appreciated

Even if you can't find the pattern, it seems like this quilt would be easy to duplicate.

Looks like a pattern that you might find in a kaffe fassett book. Looks like his fabrics too.

Googled kaffe fassett quilts and there is a kit on etsy called Domiciles, that looks just like this pattern.

There is a templet for this pattern. I'll try to find it and get back to you...

Actually the pattern is by Aardvark quilts.

There are two listed on the Aardvark Quilts website... Domicile 48 x 60 $10, and Baby Domicile 36 x 48 $10. Just click on their listing for patterns then scroll down thru the pictures on the right.

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.

I just saw something similar yesterday when searching on Google. Not hard to make as PP mentions, just a square with a flying geese on top and 1" sashing on the side.

Just saw this one...or very similar... at a quilt show, it's really cute in bright colors!

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.

Thank you everyone for your help. I wish she would join the broad but I will get the info to her :)

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.

That one is envelopes not houses. There is a free tutorial for Letters From Home on Missouri Star Quilt Company YouTube.

Or a rectangle with snowballed end. Then a snowballed 4 patch. ??????? I'm all for the easy!! LOL

Reading further, seems I'm not the only one for easy!!

My first thought was the snowball corners at the roof, easy. Make each block any size desired.

Yes, you are correct. The strips should be 9.5" long. Glad someone I paying attention!

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.

I just got this pattern from Texas, I think. It is called Village and it is from Miss Rosie's patterns. I cannot check it right now but will when I am home again.

Your pattern is different. It only has one size houses, does not have the 4-patch houses, and it is rectangular. A nice pattern but not the one shown. The one she is looking for is Domiciles or the smaller version Baby Domiciles, by Aardvark Quilts.

The Domiciles quilt appears to have sew and flip corners (not Flying Geese) because some roofs have different slopes. I found the pattern for sale on Ebay. It also appears to be 6 inch blocks because it measures 48 across and has 8 house blocks. That would make really tiny houses in the 4-patches so I would make my blocks 8 or 10 inches and use less blocks.

I realize I was mistaken here: cut the corner squares slightly less than 1/2" larger than half the width of the block. This cut allows you to be sure to keep the point of the roof line. Sorry if I messed anyone up with previous measurement. I thought the block was squared off at the top when I posted the first time.

This is the route I would go.

Yes, measure the size of the finished block, divide that by 2 and add 1/2inch. In this case the rectangles are 5" finished, so 5 divide x 2=2 1/2 plus 1/2" = 3" squares to make snow ball corners. The rectangles are cut 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" and the side strips are cut 1" x 6 1/2" That is 48 x 60 with 8 blocks across x 10 down.
