COLOR MY WORLD--MONTH 1--Small Houses 1 and 2

[Sheila M.]

I love your polka dot houses and checked doors.

Finished my first 16 houses from my stash. It was such a fun to make. Wish it would be first of February to continue

SO CUTE!!

I hope I haven't already posted a picture of my houses, I looked under my profile and it says 0 photos...so...here we go.

GREAT! A NIGHT SKY!

My Small Houses 1. The rainbow polka dot house has a story. The owner of this house in our town was upset about a large apartment building that was built next to his house. So he painted his house in large polka dots!
This background is for this circle. It is an Australian fabric. I thought it looked like a starry sky.
I am using the art fabric in Wendy Williams for the outer, and a dark starry fabric for the mariners compass.

'quiltbobbin'--love your story about the polka dot house! Thanks for sharing.

I made my blocks the dinosaur method I really like that way of paper piecing. I'm using my small stash of Alison Glass fabric will need more but that wont be a problem I work in a quilt shop. And for doors and windows I'm using batiks which I see. To have a lot of.

I just finished my houses 1&2. I really like the freezer paper method. I chose a white and gray background and randomly selected color combinations. I’m so glad I joined The Quilt Show for this BOM!

Your sky fabric looks terrific. Helped me a lot to visualize possibilities. Thanks

Hi, it's located under the Learn Tab, BOM 2021.

[Bobbie S.]

I posted Small Houses 1 last night. I finished the SMH2 today. I’m liking this project so far, and I’m getting used to the freezer paper method.

[Ruthann S.]

Love the fabric you used for your roof.

[Jill P.]

Yesterday I made some gaps for my houses, here in The U.K. we certainly don’t have long straight roads and I live in a hilly area, so I shall do more of these.

[Patricia S.]

I love your doors and windows!

I finished 2 of House 1. My background fabric is part of the Art History 101, but doesn't have as much negative space as the one in the kit. I like the Kit one much better. I'll have to do more to see if the background overpowers the houses, if it does, I'll prob switch to something else, or use less of it. They are fun, but time consuming as this is the first time I've paper pieced.

TrueColors, please remember the trees Will dominate the area around and over the houses. The background fabric (whatever it is), will be just that: Background. Also, all of us will have a second round of buildings around the outer circle, at which time, we can Change our background fabric to something else if we want. I have the second kit background, the white w/black polka-dots. I will stick with that for the first round of houses, but am seriously considering changing my background in the second outer ring of buildings.

Finally happy with my 16 houses. By the time I was done I'd learned a lot about what worked and what didn't so redid a couple. Glad I did them before checking out the ones posted, I would have been stymied with many new ideas.
