My granddaughter has been admiring the color wheel hanging in my sewing room. As a budding artist, she needed one too! My colors may not be perfect, but I was pretty happy with what I found in my stash for each of the color wedges...
I used my "Fat Cats" ruler, which is just a 30 degree ruler, to cut the wedges 8 1/2" long. I sewed a white strip cut 1" x 10" to each wedge and trimmed it even with the wedge. Then it was just a matter of sewing the 12 wedges together in a circle. There's a circle appliquéd in the center and the outside edges are just turned under 1/4" and machine appliquéd to the background. Some spiral quilting, Architextures binding and it was done!
I happened to have a bit of Crafty Chloe fabric leftover and it seemed the perfect backing...
{Couldn't resist zooming out to get my Crepe Myrtle in the picture...}
And here's a sneak peek at my next project. I'm getting ready for an upcoming retreat and cutting out the blocks for this beauty... "Fresh" from Simply Retro.
I also received this lovely rug mug from an equally lovely friend on Saturday. Miss Nancy, a member of our Redbird Bee, made this with scraps leftover from my Bee block!
Yes, quilters are the nicest!!!
