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.

Caz, check that the photo is not too big. 5mb is maximum size. If it is, resize smaller and try again

Morning from England (a country in COVID 19 lockdown)
Excited to begin my first BOM with The Quilt Show. I have chosen a background Makower UK fabric 1831 Monochrome Dotty Scallop 100% cotton which I managed to purchase just before the fabric shops all closed for the lockdown until mid February. I will be using my stash fabric for the majority of the quilt.

Sorry I can't get my picture to upload as an attachment or as an insert !!!

Hi from the French region of Switzerland
I have to shop online and my fabrics have not arrived yet. Here is the background fabric I chose. Moda Weather Permitting, Cloudy Forecast (I believe) in blue.

These fabrics are from Windham by Marcia Derse Palette Texture collection. A white tone was added to construct a church, as well as a red color to build a barn. Hopefully, swapping out several original buildings for a church and barn will be doable without too much difficulty. The background and binding is from Moda: Grunge Hits the Spot.

On one of the forums, believe it was Helen, she posted a draft scaled down like the houses, for a Church, school, (and maybe a barn). I was quite impressed, as I want to add my Church and little school in our neighborhood.

TrueColors, It was Annis, (AJClapp) that drafted them in Illustrator, but yes I plan to build some barns and other building, trees etc. too. HelenW

Hello from the North of Germany!
The mystery quilt with Alex made me so happy this year and when I saw the Color my World preview I fell in love on first sight!
Finally I bought my fabric at one of my favorite quilt shops and here are my fabrics: The background is not well visible, it is of blue sky with white clouds.
I am so much looking forward to getting started! And I was lucky enogh that my new Elna 720 Pro arrived the week before Christmas :) :)

Annis, beautiful background and the Peppered Cottons are perfect. Whatever you do, will be wonderful.

I have some 10" squares of Peppered Cottons and found the background fabric in my store. If I find time to make this quilt I will probably only make the center section and use 15 degree wedges for less houses. I'm thinking the houses need to be spread further apart since I live in the country now. Maybe put some wildlife in between them if I can find a fabric to fussy cut with trees in the background. Also I would like to put a church, schoolhouse, barn, and courthouse in the corners. My first draft had it surrounded by log cabin blocks and a fence border, but that would require lots more fabric and time. I may do the fence border. It may never be more than a computer drawing since I have more projects than I have time for already in progress. But it will be fun to make if I can make the time.

Greetings from Down Under. Here are my fabrics. The one on the right will be my main background with the one on the left being the border. A little more subdued than I really wanted but what was available in the quantity needed.
Love the fabrics, especially the background. I am looking forward to seeing your finished product.
