          Just curious is anyone has asked the question as to how many pieces are in this quilt as the pattern is written. I’m almost done and someone asked me and I couldn’t even answer the question. Hope someone knows because I know it’s been a huge challenge.

            I have finished my quilt top except for the borders. These are added by Photoshop in the colours that I have planned. The same grey as the roads and then the background colour as the edging.
            I designed the Houses in the City to look like classic Australian Houses and changed the trees to Gum trees.
            Quilting it is the next big challenge

              Very Cool creative changes to trees and little houses. Such a labor of love beyond the countless hours that must go into every one of these Color my World quilts! And especially love your tower (light blue, black, grey).

            This is my BOM 2021 “Color My World” finish. Still to be quilted.
            loved doing and learning all the techniques. A CHALLENGE indeed. Click image for larger version

              Wish I could see your Color My World quilt up closer. Tree look very unique and creative! Houses and buildings appear to have great use of color!

                I have finished my version of Color My World including quilting it. I substituted 2 of the skyscrapers for ones i have visited, Space Needle in Seattle and the Washington Monument in DC. This was a fun challenge and I love how it turned out. Thank you Barbara for wonderful videos and guidance.
