Topic: Background fabric (1/2) - 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:

Is the background fabric Art History 101 actually a panel? Trying to locate some and it's sold per panel. I'm not sure if this is the correct fabric or not.

Not a panel. It's bought by the yard.

It is a wonderful fabric, but unfortunately it's sold out. The Quilt Show said once sold out it's gone. I've searched and there is a canvas copy, but would be too heavy. I did read one post awhile back someone found it at a certain shop, so may want to scroll or try to do a better search, but it's prob gone by now. I heard Alex Anderson say on a (think it was current?) youtube vid that they may be getting more kits in March? Not sure if they would be the same fabrics.

LindaMc101 OFFLINE Posts: 5 Thank you received: 5	I made a Small House #2 with it and It seems to have worked fine, it is good to work with and only just a little Thicker. It does seem to have a looser weave to it so I wouldn't prewash it because I think it would ravel ( or fray) quite a bit.

LindaMc101 OFFLINE Posts: 5 Thank you received: 5	I have gotten some of the canvas in the Art History 101 as it was the only piece I could find of this fabric, and I was surprised to see that it is not a heavy as I thought it would be. It is not like "canvas" at all. I am planning to do a practice house to see how it will work.
