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:

Hi Landa, I made mine with six colors. Look in show and tell. I love it.

FYI: I really struggled on my points for first block 2 compass. My fabric got weary of rip and sew, rip and sew. The C. Jenkins freezer paper would hold good on the larger pieces, not so much at the points. Then i remembered my QS fabric glue stick from sewing blocks with Alex last year. I don't know if this was a suggested tool for this BOM. But once I started using it, I got much better results.

There are several photos of Compasses made like this. Look through several of the other posts to see them--particularly in Show and Tell.

I want to use this block as a tribute to my daughter and grand children. Can I make the center (larger point) from one color and the back points with 2 different colors in each alternating? I am using batiks..center would be Amethyst (daughter's birthstone), with Emerald and May (granddaughter's birthstone and month) as one wedge, then next wedge would be Citrine and November (grandson's birthstone and month) as the next wedge. I would alternate the two colored wedges around the purple center. Sorry for the length...
