I have begun putting together my Colorwheel Quilt. It is a square quilt and the final dimensions should be 56×56 inches (142×142 cm). I rotary cut 52 pieces of fabric for the wheel and I think I am fairly happy with this arrangement of the pieces.
Although it is a very simple design, I found excellent step-by-step instructions in a pattern from this book by Joelle Hoverson of Purl Soho:
The plan is to do this one entirely by hand. I am now beginning to piece it and I think that should go fairly quickly. Updates to follow!

I LOVE this color wheel quilt. You must have flipped when you saw Jacquie’s during Sunday’s show and tell! Since you’re a newer quilter with a smaller fabric stash, how did you get such a perfect color wheel?

I did think it was pretty funny that Jacquie showed hers at the meeting. Mine will have a different background color so they won’t be twinsies.
Her quilt did make me rethink my quilting scheme though. I like the concentric circles more than Joelle Hoverson’s radial scheme. Do you think they make templates 56″ in diameter or am I actually going to have to unearth my protractor?
