I DID IT!! I figured out what to do at 2 am this morning I drew up another house pattern. Figured out the cutting diagram then because I was not tired I cut it out and sewed it. MY first ever pattern!!! I will try to post pictures but keep getting a 501 error. It might be me but will try again!

I am so excited I was able to figure out the row of houses issue.
I drew the little brown house and figured out the cutting measurements I am so proud of myself for doing this. Before I would have done the strips but because this is going to be another auction quilt I wanted perfection. Now the others will have sashing around them but the row house was special! Thank you for all of your advice

Great fix!! No one would ever know it wasn't meant to be this way??? VERY nice! I would have suggested sashing strips between them to bring your short parts up to the same size as the others, too!. :-D

Ok no worries you guys are amazing at fixing things right I just know you will have the answer because I cannot think straight right now.
Hi Add a Tree block to each end of the house row. then add a row to the flag to make a pole and you should be fine. lovely blocks sleep on it and it will look better tomorrow and a solution will be there for you.
