Isn't This a Cute Little Color Wheel?
Isn't this a cute little color wheel?? I can brag about it because it is a foundation pieced pattern that I found on the web and so it is not my original design. :-) It is merely something that I already had the fabrics for (Timeless Treasures Tonga Treats "Hard Candy" batik squares that my DD had given to me as a birthday gift last year). The pattern can be found online by going to piecebynumber.com and looking for their "Circle of Geese" block. Okay, my addition of colorful little kitty heads as the border fabric was my touch of cleverness. Geese flying over cats ... I think it is witty.
I used a triangle pocket on the back and a piece of stiff cardboard in the triangle pocket so I could hang this on point. Sewed a plastic ring at the top of the back (out of sight) and then rammed a plastic push pin kind of thumb tack into the wood of my shelves. Thus I can easily remove this "wall hanging" from the shelves when I need to browse in the red and blue fabrics. Quite honestly, the walls in my sewing room are already loaded with too much stuff so I had to load something like this on my fabric shelves now. I better stop making cute little things or else remove other things.

Thank you, Sandi. I consider that high praise coming from a professional like you. :-) The one I saw online was done in pastels but I'm so conventional that I had to make it in rowdy colors.

Striking! Love the brights on the black background. Might have to give that a try on another project. NancyH

I love the colorful "background" of the display area! Looks perfect for hanging this color wheel quilt.
