Color Wheel Scrap Quilt

Pieced Black & White Border

Lime Green Circles Machine Quilted

MQ by Barb Raisbeck of QuiltsbyBarb

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Mod

Materials

ONLY fabrics from my scrap bins!

What was your inspiration?

My dreams of course. And the new 'Free Form Quilting' book I recently got - LOVE the theory and method of this type of quilting...it was fun making a color wheel from it...

What are you most proud of?

The top and binding of this quilt is solely put together using fabrics from my scraps!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't try to finish it in less than a month...it can get a bit mind boggling :)

I have wanted to do a color wheel with scraps for my sewing room wall and you brought my dream to life. did you use a pinning wall? and did you do it in sections? just curious where to start something like this.

I have all my scraps organized by colors in bins. That helped a lot - I just pulled the 'red' bins or the 'yellow' bins and made those sections. It helped keep the chaos slightly out of my area as well ;) Have fun! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
