Swirly Whirly Dresden Color Wheel







After I completed my paper pieced Pineapple Block quilt I wanted to work on a no-brainer quick and easy project and so I made another color wheel wall hanging (my fourth).  Each of my color wheels is different. I find a color wheel a fun and relaxing thing to whip out when I want to "goof off" in my sewing room.  I keep a notebook of page protectors with 10" squares of Tonga Treats batik prints (and another company's line of batik layer cakes but I forget the name) in bright colors for just such spurts of creativity so I am always ready to sit and stitch for a day or two.  :-)  This notebook also has a slew of color wheel type patterns that I have found online, more patterns than I can possibly make in one lifetime.

This particular pattern is called Swirly Whirl Dresden and can be found here:

Far be it from me to tempt you with an idea and not show you where to find the pattern.  :-)

    I really do not enjoy paper piecing but I love that block. I want to do it as flowers in various sizes, with vines and leaves as an applique quilt... Will I ever actually do it? Nah, probably not. But I do love it!

    Well, Jean, as a paper pieced block this one is really not that painful. I suppose you could just "cheat" and make it into an applique project. :-)

    Okay, Sara, I just created a Flickr album so that you may take a look at all four of my color wheel quilts in one place. Let's hope that Blogger will allow me to post a link to Flickr. :-)

    It works, Sara. You have to cut and paste it into the address bar. Great colour wheels -- but the best one is missing!

    Okay, Jean, here's the URL for the blog for the Swirly Twirly Dresden. I was just reluctant to post it to Flickr. Again, you will have to copy and paste ...
