Topic: replacement buildings (1/1) - 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:

I’m planning to personalise my quilt by choosing significant towers to represent family locations around the world. In addition to Big Ben, London, I’d like to include the Burj Khalifa, Dubai; the Liver Building, Liverpool and Lord Hill’s Column, Shrewsbury. I’m hoping this will be feasible. I’ve started to do my designs but a template of the segment size would be very helpful at this point.

Personalizing your quilt to represent your world is a great idea.

The dimensions for the skyscrapers will be discussed later this summer, probably August. The skyscrapers are not made until Months 11 and 12--we have plenty to do before that.

I was thinking since we live outside of Washington, DC, I will put the Capitol dome and the Washington Monument in two of the corners. The other two corners I am thinking of lighthouses of our favorite beach spots. My husband is from Montana near Glacier Park and we were wondering if some of the buildings on the outside ring could be replaced with the mountains of Montana. Any thoughts if this would look too crazy with mountains on the top of the quilt instead of a couple of buildings.

Is the order of the buildings around the circle interchangeable or does the pattern follow a certain order that must be maintained because of sizing? I hope this question makes sense.

The 32 Small Houses will be joined in pairs then into a complete circle and they are all the same size so order isn't that important--your colors will determine which Small Houses you place side by side.

During Months 6-9 the Tall Buildings are made and they must be placed in specific locations, as they are made in ascending and descending sizes around the outer circle.

Hope that answers your question, Roxanne.
