BLOCK OF THE MONTH - BOM
BOM 2021 - Color My World
COLOR MY WORLD--MONTH 1--Small Houses 1 and 2
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 use the inexpensive dinner plares, 100 to a pack and print alphabet letters to place on the fabric peices to use.

Pam, if you are still having problems accessing the patterns, please post this on the topic UPDATE on Website Issues. John Anderson is monitoring this and fixing problems as he learns of them.

I found it this morning under Classroom downloads. I thought that when I did sizzle it was right with the BOM for the current month. Will this be changing? I’m waiting for my fabrics to arrive so can’t start yet. I’m looking forward to making this one.

Beginnings are difficult!
Under cuttings, the pattern suggests cutting the recurring sizes of each of our colors and placing them in a basket.
Your suggestion was to cut 3.5 inch strip of each color.
I like your idea but do we then cut lots of little pieces or just what we need for that house in that color.
I saw you had a tray with a bunch of strips on it.
Beginnings and staying organized are difficult!

Working with the 3.5” strips, just cut the specific pieces needed for one house. I would make that first house before cutting out the next house. That little success gives you the encouragement to press on.

On my little design board I lay out all the cut pieces for one house. A paper plate is a good idea too. Just find a way that keeps the cut pieces ready to use and easy to identify..

So on each paper plate you have the pieces that you cut for each house. Then you assemble. Right? I like the paper plate idea. Dessert plates or bowl’s. We can fill them with goodies after the house is made.

I found them under Classroom handouts; houses1 & 2, revised cutting instructions for larger pieces and the Coloring page. They still are not under BOM 2021 though.

Checked my Star payments: In Dec, I pd the 6 month fee x2, for $19.00 each time; each with a notation on the page, but the Annual Star membership was only pd through Sept '21. So I bought another Annual Star membership, with receipt.
Am I 2 star member or how does the pd twice for the 6 month membership affect all of this?.
I logged out, then back in & was able to find the patterns; thanks!

I am still unable to download Month 1. It brings me to introduction and coloring page. I've tried logging out and then in but that didn't work. It's after 11pm on the East Coast so I'm going to bed. Will try again tomorrow. At least I've gotten all of my strips cut and ready to get started.
