Color My World Block 1, LATE!

[Cynthia T.]

Late to the party and new to the site! I saw someone's CMW post on FB, and it inspired me to join TQS to begin this project. I have found it to be SO helpful in using up my favorite scraps, KFC. Geez, could I use anymore initialisms? :-)
Here are my blocks thus far. Do you see anyone peeking out of windows?

P.S. I did several searches in the Forum, looking to post my beginnings within that thread, to no avail.

Welcome Late to the Party, You found the correct area on the forum to post. There are specific threads that Barbara Black has
set up so everyone can see everyones progress. Also one she set up for asking questions. Being late to start you can benefit
from everyone else's questions and even color selections etc. I took a screen shot of the two places to post you photos and questions. HelenW

Hi Helen, thanks for the welcome. I did see the thread Barbara started called "Your Center..." for showing progress on the quilt, but everyone else is on block five. I wondered whether there were specific threads for each month's block. No worries, I'll catch up eventually.

I am very late to the party! I will start soon and only work on it until I am caught up. Life got in the way the way it does.

[Barbara B.]

Great! As long as you have the patterns, you can start whenever it suits you.

I'm just starting my House 1. I precut my pieces first. As I am sewing them together, I am finding that there is very little room for error. Usually, with paper piecing, there is extra fabric on the sides and top when putting together. Am I doing something wrong? Will I have enough fabric if these pieces are too small to make the house? It seems like the cut sizes should have to add a 1/2 inch on the sides and top/bottom.

There is a little extra for each piece. You can cut the pieces larger if you prefer.
