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:

COLOR MY WORLD--MONTH 1--Small Houses 1 and 2 14 Jan 2021 10:51 #153574

Hello from New Brunswick, Canada.
I'm going to try this beautiful project.
My question: Will one layer cake 10'' X 10'' be enough for the houses & buildings please?

My first 16 houses. I loved this way to paper piece. Having the sizes listed helped although the door piece for house 2 could have been bigger. So I added 1/2 inch as I am using novelty fabrics in my doors and windows.

i know Alnwick very well. We usually cycle camp up there and stay at Beadnall on the coast. Northumberland is a beautiful county. Bedtime for me now.

Hoping , after the vaccine that is being rolled out, we will be able to get away to the north of Scotland in June. Over 70's should be vaccinated we have been told by mid February. I have just had my 70th birthday so it should be soon.
layered up the 2019 sizzle today although it was finished in 2019 but other things got in the way.

Where do you live? I have family via marriage (my daughters in laws) in the Alnwick area and a pen pal in Glasgow. I too have the sizzle quilt done but Unquilted tho it’s moving up in my que.

Have loved seeing everyone’s houses! Amazing all the different directions people have taken. I’m excited today as my wool felt has finally arrived. Loving all the yummy colors and can’t wait to finalize my building color combinations.

I plan to customize houses to reflect the houses my husband and I grew up in along with my siblings homes and our son’s home. The four homes we’ve lived in over the past 38 years will be on the outside circle NSEW.

I love the houses and had fun making them. I love text in quilts and thought the positive words in the background fabric were really appropriate for 2021. (i’ve had several questions about what the background fabric is. It is a Windham fabric called “Sew*Hope*Full” by Whistler Studios.)
