Color My World is Done!!


I finished Color My World this past weekend. I was thrilled when I sewed the outer layer to that inner road. I'm not used to sewing in circles and was so afraid it wouldn't lay flat. But it did!! I pinned every 2 inches or so. I was nervous about puckers. I did rip out and sew a small section because I wasn't happy with how it came out. But, it's done and I added the borders as well.  It measures about 69.5" square. I really love this one!


This is how the outer circle looked before I sewed everything together. It looked pretty flat to me but I was quite nervous that it wouldn't be quite so flat when everything was sewn together. The directions were great and we had Barbara Black helping us every step of the way. This turned out to be such a great project as well as a great learning experience!

  1. Wow! Turned out beautifully. I am still working on the skyscapers as I am personalizing them and it is taking forever. I, too, am nervous about my outer circle fitting properly to the inner one. Fingers crossed.

  4. Such a beautiful piece, Rosemary. I am so impressed with your quilting skills! I gave this project of yours a little shout out in my Nov. 14 post because I have an idea of the challenge these round buildings would be.

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'...
