BLOCK OF THE MONTH - BOM
BOM 2021 - Color My World
UPDATE on Website Issues
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:

Barbara,
I also had the issue when printing from my IPad. The 1” scale box was smaller than 1”. I used the “enlarge “ copy in the printer to make the pieces bigger. Testing until I got the scale box to measure correctly. In my case it was 105%. Hope this helps others.

Thank you very much. I could resize the document and get the templates the correct size. :)

With assistance from my granddaughter I downloaded a printer app to my iPad which allows me to resize document pages. It is then possible to change to full size when printing using the app, making the templates the correct size. My printer is an HP deskjet and the app is a free one called HP Smart. Hopefully other printer brands make a similar app available. Good luck!

I noticed too that the page size was not 8.5x11 when I opened the PDF in Adobe Illustrator. Could this be due to Wendy being from Australia?

I have printing issues with pages 9 and 10. The scale of those pages is 91% and page1 to 8 are at 100% scale. As I print from my IPad, I cannot rescale pages 9 and 10. Can you modify your PDF so that I can print the pages at the wright scale. I had no problem printing the background page as the scale is 100%. I obtained a perfect 1 inch square.
Thank you

The Patterns will not be changed--they are correct.

Those trying to print from an IPad cannot get the 1" scale correct on the pattern pages. I tried from my Ipad when someone said she was unsuccessful with the ipad. I could not get the 1" scale right for the patterns as I cannot tell the Ipad to print Actual size. Print from a computer where you can be sure your printer settings are correct.

I have a new printer and my computer is too old to print on it and there is no update available for it. I don’t intend to buy a new computer to be able to print the pattern. Dont you think that in 2021 your pattern file should be IPad friendly. If you could do it for the background pattern, with good will you surely can do it the rest of the pattern.

I had this issue on a different paper piecing project. I ended up printing the smaller scale as a template; measured the inch box and rescaled a copy on my printer. Here is a link to a size proportion website calculator.

I show you as a Star member. The system shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to update a membership. Please try to download again and let us know if you are having trouble. Are you using an iPad? If so, sign out and then sign in again. That has worked for others.

I could not download the houses and discovered that my subscription expired dec 18th. I have renewed and still cannot download the houses. Does it take a while for the renewal to go through.

My friend and I are continuing to have pattern printing issues. I have tried to adjust my printer and have downloaded the pattern numerous times to see if that will help. The pattern is printing at 7/8 " scale every time...as is my friend's...Any one else finding the same problem? Any advice?

After having similar issues a number of times, ended up rebooting printer, router and laptop. Success and perfect 1 inch. Not sure what or why, but might be worth trying if you haven’t. Good luck!

There have been no changes to the Month 1 pattern.

The Speed Cutting Of Background Fabrics was updated to include a larger piece of J for Small house 2.

Future Monthly patterns have fewer pages. I will ask about the page numbers.
