    No, 3 and 4 are made separately, then sewn together. Sections 5 are added to either side of 3/4. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the pattern to join all the parts. The video shows how the various parts go together.

        I am having a little problem with my world block. I am trying to find the video for constructing the block . Not sure if my side are right. They don't seem to match. This is the first block I had any issue with. Thanks Caroline.

          The Videos for Months 11 and 12 are in the Facebook LIVE section. LEARN, BOM 2021, the very first link shows all the LIVES done for Color My World. Month 11 shows One World--the lines on the 3 sections are not intended to line up.

            I have posted a couple of times asking for help with making the Statue of Liberty for one of my corners. Unfortunately, I have had no responses. Do you have any suggestions about how I might make a pattern for this?
            Thank you

          Someone used an image they found online and printed the Statue of Liberty directly on fabric. You have to manipulate the image to be sure it would be the size you need.

          Or Google for images of the Statue and use that to draw a pattern you can piece or appliqué.

            I'm having trouble sewing the binding strips on to my fabric for the Eiffel Tower. I think the problem is that all the crossing strips add a lot of thickness. Did anyone else struggle with this? Any suggestions? Thanks!

              I'm having trouble sewing the bias on the Eiffel Tower. All the overlapping of the bias is making it really thick. Did anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

                Centrepoint Tower and bias tape. Followed pattern centering bias tape on guidelines. Oops! Structure represented by bias supports background not building. Note that the picture on the first page of the PDF does NOT match the pattern.
                If someone knows how to remove heat set bias from fabric, please let me know. Otherwise I need to make a new “bottom” for Centrepoint Tower.
                Pictures show: printed pattern (parts of seam allowance showing); my unpressed seam connecting the two pieces; detail of picture on the PDF.
