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:

Helen,
Dumb question--if I print all of the templates at 75%, will everything fit together? I don't have the quilting chops to figure out how to create a Mariner's Compass, for example, without a template of the right size (I am still trying to get the Kaffe mystery to me quilt finished because of borders and all not quite fitting!). I so want to be able to display this quilt, but I will need to make it smaller. Karen

Karen, In a perfect world the answer would be YES, but with everyone using different printers, it is up in the air. Some turn out perfect, and some are not exactly 360 degrees.
I look at it, if you come up short you just add a few filler pieces, like maybe using the tree spots to insert an little fabric. That is just one idea. No guarantees. Sorry. HelenW

I'm not going to make this bom but I thought I would try one anyway
Meegwat, You can always make part of the the pattern, say maybe the Mariner's Compass and the just the first road and one circle of houses. That would be cute.
HelenW
Your house is cute!!!

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

That happens to most of us, we don't know why. It should not happen on the new website we will be moving to soon.
