Topic: Cutting strips for house blocks (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:

Hello, I am getting ready to cut my strips for house 1 and house 2 blocks. I have purchased a kit and thought I would be brave by cutting a strip of each required size from all of the twenty colors provided for the houses i.e one strip 1 1/4" from each color, 1 strip 1 1/2" from each color etc. Is this the best use of my fabric or will I be wasting too much?
Thanks
Helen

Read my blog just posted today--do not cut all those small strips. Cut one strip of most fabrics 3.5".

I just put up a link to my blog on the Forum.
