I just like color order. I wanted to make color wheel quilt for a while. I used this pattern but added my own twist. I wanted a bit vortex feeling to it.
The center is like gun barrel.
It is my FMQ practice piece. My first attempt still makes me smile. I have a long way ahead of me but this colorful piece helped me to overcome the fear of FMQ. Fear of failure. I hope my amateur quilting will encourage others to give a go.
I turned it into shelf cover. It is my reminder of "You can do it" attitude.
You can read more about the process here, here and here.
The size is 37" square. Quilted on Brother NV350.
What a fun idea to swirl your wheel! Fabulous photo at the end there =)
ReplyDeleteI love color wheel quilts to begin with, but I really like the vortex that you added to this one. I love the idea of using a quilt as a shelf cover too. I'm getting ready to move and am not sure what my new sewing room will look like; I'm going to pin the idea of a quilted shelf cover just in case I have some shelves to enclose. Great finish!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! Your quilting...
ReplyDeleteI think the quilting is AWESOME and I love the way you altered the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love your version of the colour wheel. So cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the vortex feel of this quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Vera! I love the movement on the wheel and how you extended it with the quilting. What a treat to see the quilted colour wheel on the back too. Way to go with the FMQ! Woo hoo!
ReplyDeletethis is very pretty, and your quilting just adds so much to it - love the texture you created and the back is as pretty as the front!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic - front and back - and all your photos are beautiful! I love the quilting :)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I've always wanted to make a color wheel quilt, too! I haven't gotten to it yet, but I don't really have enough scraps to complete the whole color wheel just yet. I may try the NY Beauty color wheel style. Your quilting is perfect for this quilt! It adds to the vortex feel :) I also absolutely love the picture of your quilt in the field of flowers. LOVE. I've been inspired by your quilt photos and have already been scoping out "quilt picture" spots around our rural town. Maybe one day I'll actually finish a quilt so that it needs photographing!
ReplyDeleteLove it! What a great idea to change the pattern and make it your own...and I like how you've hung it in your room as a positive reminder to be brave! I also like the picture at the end...is that a canola field? It looks like Alberta! (where I live) :-)
ReplyDeleteReally love your quilting!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is just so gorgeous! I absolutely love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteI love this! It is just so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand your fear of FMQ. I am always afraid of ruining my quilts by quilting it. I really like how you quilted yours--it really adds so much.
This is just fantastic.Great job!!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt--I really hope to make a color wheel quilt for my sewing room someday too. That last photo in the flowers is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteVera you are so brave! You made a wonderfully beautiful quilt top and were not afraid to FMQ on it. It is a fabulous piece!! Kudos.
ReplyDeleteIt makes a stunning shelf cover and we can always use a reminder that "we can do it!". It's also gorgeous and a perfect pick the Festival. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Beyond the great design and quilting, the quilt looks great in your sunny, rainbowy sewing room! Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Beautiful. The rainbow stitching makes the back extra amazing!

I like the vortex feeling you added. It shows up especially well on the back. Love the picture in the field of yellow. Really shows off the quilt beautifully.
