Design Wall Monday - 07/11/11


I've finally got another project in progress on my Design "Table"!  I've been roadblocked working a project for quilt class in the fall.  So for whatever reason, I felt that I couldn't work on anything else until I made decisions on how to set that project.  Let's just say that I got over that feeling this weekend and started pulling fabrics to make a color wheel block.  For a very long time, I've been seeing lots of interpretations of a foundation pieced block with flying geese going in a circle.  I mentally bookmarked it to come back to at a later date.  Well CrazyMom showed one last week and I finally decided to just do it.  I don't know where it will go - a one-block wall hanging or possibly a center medallion for a bigger quilt - the possibilities are endless.  I chose to do a color wheel with a black background.  I had trouble printing the foundation the right size - had to do some creative enlarging/cutting/pasting.  Above are the 12 colors that I've chosen so far - I may tweek them before I start.  Most of these came straight out of my scrap bag.  The reds are not reading very true in this picture.  They were right under the lamp.  I only need a tiny piece from each fabric so most of this will go right back in the stash.  Unless I build it bigger...
