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 using a variety of background fabrics and of course my "stash" for the houses. Having so much fun.
Music store, coffee house, NYC boutique.

I first made 9 block houses in the wrong printed size. Decided I better figure out how to get the right size and start over. So I did figure it out and started over. This time I decided to change up from all shot cotton to a mix of Tim Holts Abandoned and peppered cottons. Finished my16 houses. Enjoyed the freezer paper technique and process. Only my freezer paper only lasted to about 8 or 9 houses and then it was shot. Now what to do with the extra 9 houses. Lol.
Thank you

Once I got started, I couldn't stop. I couldn't find the Urban Graffiti I wanted but I'm really liking this B&W fabric.

Your background fabric is wonderful!
