Topic: Background fabric (2/2) - 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.

No, the Kit fabric is not a panel. Someone else bought the panel fabrics, showed it in a post and I think decided not to use it. What was shown was somewhat darker than the Art History 101 included in the Kit.

Use the Search box up above to find that discussion. Use Panel as your Search, you will find it.

Patsquilts, Wendy's instructions say to cut 7 strips of border fabric, 5" wide x Width of Fabric, for the borders. This will mean they are cut cross grain and uses 1 yard of fabric. Some prefer to cut their borders lengthwise grain. that would require 2 yards, 72", cut 4 strips 5" each. Then you use the rest of that 2 yards for piecing the background in the various "blocks"--since all the background is cut up monthly for the various units we are making each month.

thanks, that's what I needed - I prefer to cut the full length strips, so
I appreciate you.

I know it's way early - however, I don't want to cut into the border while making all the little house backgrounds. I want to reserve that import part of the background for the end. Thanks.

I purchased from the US online but only realised after it had been shipped that I had bought the canvas version. I am still waiting for it to arrive but having not seen either fabric, will the canvas work? I hope so!! Otherwise I will have to try and sell it elsewhere. Thanks! Julie
