Topic: COLOR MY WORLD--MONTH 1--Small Houses 1 and 2 (22/34) - 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.

shabbyquilter OFFLINE Posts: 9 Thank you received: 17	I FINALLY MADE ONE. It was not an easy task for me...had my problems. I didn't see anywhere the size of a pieced house. My House 1 measures appr 2 3/8 on the bottom, 4 1/4 on top and is 11 inches tall. Does that sound right????

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

People are posting their houses to two different spots. Color my World Houses 1 and 2 or Show and Tell with helpful hints. Can these topics be combined or should we just check both for what is posted.

Here is my block 1&2 blocks completed. I may redo some of them after seeing the other photos posted but it will mean that I have to shop for some more background material.

They can’t be combined so we just have to check both places.

Next month I will start a Topic: Show Your Month ___ Blocks here. That should keep all the photos in one Topic.

PaolaRB OFFLINE Posts: 59 Thank you received: 266	Mytime & Roxannecooper, I agree. I too had to add 1/4 “ to some of the measurements in order to get complete seam coverage. Once I got over the initial difficulties, the houses went rather quickly. I used the 1/4" inch foot on my little Bernina and found the freezer paper method quite easy to do. Here are my 16 small houses #1 & 2.
