Topic: Fabric (5/6) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Enjoy "Color My World" by Wendy Williams - This beautiful quilt is constructed of soft and textural shot cottons from Windham fabrics on a richly patterned background. It offers so many opportunities for personalization through both embellishment and quilting- you could add house numbers, decorations, people, pets, garden flowers- there are so many ways to make this quilt truly your own!

Let's use this Topic "Color My World Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful work. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.

The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.

AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

Jillypea OFFLINE Posts: 28 Thank you received: 130	I’m wondering what others are thinking. I’m afraid I don’t like the busy background and have chosen a white with tiny coloured spots. Now that I’ve seen how large the small houses are, and all the seams, I’m wondering if small prints would look better but solids for the windows and doors.

I am choosing my own fabric from local quilt shops. I have my background and following the same colors as the kit. I have many of my of the fabrics but, not all. I want to make sure I have the fabrics we will be starting with on January 1st - purchased washed - pressed and ready to go. I noticed from the 12/18 video that we will be starting with two sections.

Can you tell me which colors we will be using for the January blocks?

Each Small House uses 4 fabrics besides the background: door, windows, roof and building. You decide whatever you want to use for each. We make a total of 16 Small Houses in Month 1, 8 number 1, and 8 number 2.

When I look up the Art History 101 background fabric on online sites, it is referred to as "Canvas" and suggested for home decor use rather than quilting. Is it a heavier weight fabric than normal quilter's cottons?

The canvas is NOT what is used in the Kit. The Kit background of Art History 101 is fine quality quilters cotton. Art History 101 in fine quilters cotton had to be reprinted expressly for The Quilt Show and that is happening now. I don’t expect it to be available anywhere else.

If you want those fabrics I recommend waiting for the new Kits, available very soon. Be sure you have asked to be put on the email list so you will know the day they are available. They will sell quickly.
