Topic: Please share your different background fabrics (4/5) - 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:

It is highly unlikely you will find it. Some have mistakenly bought a version in Canvas or Panels—neither is the fabric used in the original quilt and our Kit. It was produced a few years ago, which means “ancient “ in fabric production.

The Mariners compass takes 1/3 yard. Pick a background out for that and start it February 1st. If you get your fabric in February, you can do the houses. They are addictive so in two days you can finish them. I could do one in 30 minutes or less once I had everything cut up. Then if you change your mind about the Mariners compass do it again.

It takes a little less than 1/3 but that is safe for planning purposes.

ninabeheim OFFLINE Posts: 8 Thank you received: 16	I am using a fabric from Art Gallery Fabrics called Everlasting Imprint Kushukuria b/c I like a busy background, but wanted the piecing to stand out more than what was allowed with the Durst fabric in the pattern (which I LOVED, just wanted less "busy") Attachments: everlastin...kuru.png (854KB) houses.jpg (45KB)
