The 2021 Block Of the Month In Wool

Our members are the best. When they have a bold idea they go out and do it and get noticed in big ways. That's what happened when Carole Berry decided to make the 2021 Block Of the Month, Color My World, in wool. She started making the quilt and posted her progress to Instagram, where it was noticed by Wendy Williams!

 

Here's what Carole had to say about the quilt:

 

"I wanted to share with you a post I had made on Instagram (and also Facebook) of the Color my World BOM I’m doing in wool on linen. You’ve included photos of my quilt over the past month on your Live shows and in the newsletter, which has been exciting for this newbie. I started to work on my quilt over the past few days (other projects got in the way) and posted a photo. Wendy Williams saw it on IG and commented. I’m over the moon! I just showed my husband her post and I guess I did the same little happy dance I did when I met Sue Spargo last month at her shop. That was after I bowed down to her. 😊

 

Thank you for making this amazing quilt available on TQS! I’ve learned so much in the past 8 months from watching your shows, reading the Forum and searching the website. Now I just need to break out the sewing machine I bought in February and learn to use it!"

Did you back your linen with anything? This is so beautiful and gives me an idea to do another of Wendy’s patterns on wool.

Hi Donna, Just seeing this. I did back the linen with a fusible lightweight pellon. If I were to do it again, I would strongly consider skipping the stabilizer. Wendy’s designs are amazing!

WOW! I am also doing mine in wool, but I'm just finishing up the small houses. I love your project, Carole, it is amazing! I struggled to find time to finish the paper piecing original pattern in fabric, wondering if I would ever finish it so I struck on the wool option. I teach wool applique and love the process. Thanks so much for posting!

This is what I love about quilting. A pattern for some is just a starting point to even more creativity. I think the trees between the houses are my favorite part. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished quilt, and thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Johanna! I have to say those trees were really fun to make and brought me back to my high school days (almost 50 years ago!) when I did crewel work. Hoping I can keep up the pace and finish this on time.

Oh, my goodness! I must admit that this pattern did not inspire me at all when I first saw it. But now! Your wool appliqué leaves me speechless. Saying “well done” is an understatement!!
