Color my world — your finish here

[Ellen L.]

I entered my finished quilt at the Florida State Fair. When I went to see it yesterday, it was hanging on the wall with a blue ribbon!

[Barbara B.]

Congratulations!

Ellen, Truly deserving of the blue ribbon. Look perfect on your blue background. Great job.

I finally finish my quilt top. I decided to make my trees more into the fall season. I'm really looking forward to getting it quilted by my friend with a long arm. It doesn't show up in the picture but the background fabric is golden metallic which gives the quilt a sparkly effect. I didn't care for the half tree in the outer circle so I left them out. On to the next BOM! Thanks to everyone for the help and comments and encouragements.

Finally done - I added a little forest at the top - just because. I seem to have a "thing" about square quilts. This one was a real challenge for me but eventually got it to lie pretty flat. Thank you Barbara for all your help.
Also doing 2022 BOM - applique is more my speed.

I intend to embroider my kids,grandkids and 18 great gr.kids names over each house. I figure it will be the only way we can be together all at one time!

What a lovely project this has been , hours of pleasure, thank you Barbara for all your tutorials. This is my completed piece, as you can see I replaced two of the corner designs with two of my own.

This is my outer border, I have no skyscrapers where I live, just countryside here in England

[Helen W.]

Jill P, Love your creative take on the outside ring of building and skyscrapers. I zoomed in on the picture and I can not tell if
that is commercial fabric or painted trees and buildings. I just love it. Great job!!! HelenW

[Jill P.]

Thank you. No the trees are cut in individual wavy blobs, of different fabrics, bonded then stitched round and will be heavily stitched over when quilted.
Working on this years BOM now but changing it.

Better late than never. This quilt has been probably one of my most favorite quilt projects. Although it was challenging I learned a new paperpieced technique this year and a lot about putting together a circular quilt and fell in love with hand dyed fabrics.

[Helen W.]

Lee, It turned out fabulous. Job well done. I too had great fun and learned a lot. HelenW

[Dorothy P.]

Finally finished. It won second place in the large quilts, track mounted quilting category at the Venice Area Quilters Guilds show in Venice, Florida. Used only fabrics from my stash. Loved doing it and can't thank Barbara enough for sharing her wisdom with us.

Congratulations, Dorothy, on your ribbon! So glad you were able to show your quilt.

Many of the BOM quilts for The Quilt Show over the years have been award winners at lots of shows, from the very beginning. We are so fortunate to get such great designers work their magic for The Quilt Show!

Barbara, As you know, I’m a newbie to the quilt world. If I were going to show my quilt at a show, do I need to obtain permission from Wendy Williams? Thanks, Carole B.

Some of the big shows require designer permission, some do not. Guild shows almost never do, just require attribution of the designer if not an original design. Each show clearly explains their rules. Usually a simple email communication with the designer is sufficient to show their agreement.

Just finished quilting my Colour My World quilt. I substituted the Rochester, MN famous locally corn cob water tower built in 1931. It is a local historically preserved landmark.

The top is finally done. I am very happy with it. Not sure how i will quilt it. But at least it is done and almost flat!
