Topic: Starting Construction of Small Houses 1 and 2 (1/1) - 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.

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:

ellenceleste OFFLINE Posts: 52 Thank you received: 173	Here are my first three houses. I'm not finding the freezer paper sticks to the fabric at all, but a tiny dot of glue from my Quilter's Select glue pen works a treat. I love how they look and I find them fun and easy to do. Barbara suggested the add a quarter ruler, and I ordered that and it also really helps.

LOL. Me too. I am so use to chain piecing in assembly line fashion (even with standard paper piecing) that it was an adjustment. I actually have enjoyed the process and look forward to the next month,

PS - your houses look great.
