Sophie asked me to share my notes on the little red schoolhouses pattern. I had posted them on my blog

http://christa-feelingblessed.blogspot.com.

Happy to do so. Here it is:

Re-written cutting directions to make “Little Red School Houses” found here.  (I think it is a BOM project by AzPatch)

Cut from white-on-white print – – – cut a strip 2 ¾ “ wide
four 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ squares = A
one 2 3/4″ x 2 1/2″ rectangle = B
– – – cut rest of strip down to 2″   BUT… (* since 1 1/2 and 1 1/4 make 2 3/4 you could cut the last 3 at this point)
one 2″ x 3 1/2″ rectangle, = C
one 2″ x 2″ square = D
– – – cut rest of strip down to 1 ½ “
two 1 1/2″ x 1 3/4″ rectangles = E (*)
– – – cut rest of strip down to 1 ¼ “
one 1 1/4″ x 9 1/2″ rectangle = F (*)

I found it helpful to know which red fabric was used for what part of the house.

From red print one (window side) cut –
one 2″ x 2″ square = G
two 2″ x 4 1/4″ rectangles and = H
one 2″ x 1 1/4″ rectangle = I

From red print two (door side and chimneys) cut –
one 2 3/4″ x 5″ rectangle = J
two 2″ x 4 1/4″ rectangles = K
one 2″ x 1 1/4″ rectangle = L
two 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ squares = M

From red print three (roof) cut –
one 2 3/4″ x 5″ rectangle = N
one 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ square = O

I hope this is helpful to some other beginner like me!!!
