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.

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.

Why did my image turn sideways? Anyone know how to correct that?

I've found that when I'm taking a picture with my cellphone and pointing it down in a perfectly horizontal position, the picture result is sideways. If you tilt the top (lens) up slightly at an angle to snap it, the resulting picture will be upright. I hope this helps.

The universe has been a tough place to navigate this last week. But, pictures of these little houses cheer me up so much I have tears in my eyes.

LIttle houses and cities drenched in color all over the world.

I have always had difficulty with paper piecing. This method is a game changer. Thank you Barbara for all of your tips and tutorials. I had so much fun doing this I didn't realize I had made an extra block.

I just finished my small houses 1 & 2. I love, love this method. I have taught foundation quilting using newsprint and this is so much easier. My husband likes it too (no little pieces all over when I rip it out). Thank you Barbara for all the information on prepping and the idea of cutting 3 1/2” strips from the fabric—makes cutting much quicker. Using the 10D foot (edge foot) is wonderful. Thank you to whoever mentioned it to Barbara so she could pass it on to all of us. I don’t know who suggested using the little craft iron but I want to thank you too. Can’t wait for the Mariners compass block next month.

Finished my houses 1&2. Used the #10D foot and it worked perfect. Also cut my background 51/2 x71/2 and used the template.
