BLOCK OF THE MONTH - BOM
BOM 2021 - Color My World
Small Houses 1 and 2 patterns
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:

What is the recommended number of freezer paper copies that should be made of each pattern since the freezer paper can be used multiple times? Thanks!

As many as you like. I have used some 20 times making flying geese sashing that is 10" x 4". I simply use a light dab of glue stick to secure fabric to paper when needed.

There is no need to print any pattern in this quilt more than once.

Is there a time limit one must wait through until the additional files are made available in the classroom handouts - i.e. for the patterns?

I keep logging off/on, waiting to find the pattern - yes, I am a star member - but the only downloads available are the 1st & 2nd - Fabric requirements and coloring page.

he classroom handout shows (4) files, but every time I check - there are only two files available.

Thanks!

I have asked John Anderson to look at your account.

Those with problems finding the patterns for month 1, if you are sure you are logged in as a Star Member, please post on UPDATE on Website Issues topic--that is being monitored for that issue.

Printers are an absolute anomaly! I have two choices on my print menu that work for me. One is '100%' and the other is 'Actual Size'. If you have that option, you could try and see?

Barabara and any experienced paper quilters, help!

I am new to this (have just paper pieced one project before this). I cut out the fabric for my first small house #1. When I go to sew the fabric onto the next piece, (as in b to a in the lower part of the house) the fabric is short on the seam side. I see that some of the fabric does not extend all the way to the final exterior line. Should I be cutting the fabric pieces larger than what is noted?

Thank you for any help that you can provide as now I will need to redo all of my first house as it is incorrect. It appears to be smaller that what it should be as the exterior lines extended beyond where the fabric ends. Help!!!

PaolaRB, Did you remember to trim the door to 1/4 inch seam allowance before placing piece 2 to sew??? Also I recommend you make a single sample block so you can
work out any problems before you do the 8 in a row chain style. HelenW

FYI...I have the HP8600 Printer that routinely prints at 100%. For some reason when trying to print the BOM patterns from the website the printer converts to 92% and I need to manually change it to 100%. This is just another reminder to check your printer settings.

Those pieces (a, b & h) are all the same length of 3.5" so should line up. Firstly, I would check the measurements of those pieces and also that your printer is printing to the correct size. There is a 1"x1" square on the template page to check the scale. Sorry if you have already done this. Pictures alongside a ruler would help if this doesn't remedy. Good luck.

PaolaRb, Can you take a picture. I am having a hard time visualizing your description. HelenW

Did you cut the pieces this size? And did you lay the door down so at least 1/4 above and below the sewing line. Then trim the door with add a quarter align the piece two
so at least a 1/4 above and below the area to be cover. Stitch by the freezer paper and press open. Without a picture it is hard to visualize what you did.
