Topic: Small houses 1 & 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:

BudBees OFFLINE Posts: 3 Thank you received: 6	I have used solids from my stash as the kit wouldn’t have arrived till at least February in Australia. Also the $100 postage was a turn off. I am happy with the look so far. I think I will change the background to a littler shade of the same fabric for the tall house ring. Attachments: C2CCCA79-8...7DD.jpeg (47KB)

To those who have finished your houses: Did you square up the fabrics before cutting the strip width needed? I am afraid of running out of fabric based on how much I would need to cut off to square up some of the pieces.

No reason to square up fabrics for the buildings. Cut the first strip, approximately 3.5” wide, work from it as needed. You will not run out of any of the building fabric strips in this first month, for sure. Eventually, you will cut another strip and that one will be squared up already.

Barbara mentioned before that you DO NOT need to square up before cutting the strips because it would be cut into so many little pieces. HelenW
