Color My World Through July


I finished July's directions for Color My World in 2 days! So quick this month! This picture shows all my progress to date. 

These are the July buildings knows as Tall Buildings #2. These buildings are long and skinny. However, the real time saver is the window construction. They're basically one long rectangle. I made the door first and then added each window along with the little piece of the building background. 

These are Tall Buildings #1. These are a bit shorter than the July tall building. However, those windows, although small, took a long time! They have a little bit of the building between the windows to make them look like 2 windows side by side. You start with one window, add building fabric, add the other window and then add building fabric to either side. This takes a long time! July was more fun!

The buildings are getting taller. Once they're all done and put together properly, they will square off the round center. I almost didn't make this quilt because I thought it might be too difficult. I'm so glad I tried it. It's so much easier than I expected!

A Couple of Finishes

The Christmas table runners have their binding! I started sewing the binding on the runner on the left. They're not very large so it'...
