I used Warm and White batting, and a beautiful oriental print that echoes the wheel shape for the backing. I sewed ties to the back around the inner and outer circles, and within the wedges to help hold the weight of the embellishments. Then I applied a 1/2" black satin binding.

On Friday of this week, Lauri and I will be taking our color study quilts to enter them into our county fair. If you haven't already done so, please visit Lauri's blog and check out her color study, too!

I really like the black chain stitches between the wedges. It helps define each space without taking over. I also like the chinese print much better than the first one you had. It's more ornate
Good Job !!!

Janet - How EXQUISITE! Your colors blend well, the stitches are perfect - great job!
Wow, Janet! You did an excellent job with this piece... you and Lauri are so lucky to be able to live close enough to share your CQ hobby... I need to find me a "quilting convert" up here in the woods LOL!
Wow, this quilt is just stunning! Excellent job, and the black sure makes the colors pop! Good luck at the Fair! Hugs, Cathy
What a wonderful piece it has turned out to be. There's so much to look at with really great stitching. My favourite little detail is the rambling strawberry vine on the red segment. Well done and good luck to the both of you at the Fair
Your color wheel is fabulous! I love the close-ups of the blocks. Beautiful work!
Having followed along with your progress, I am delighted to see it's completion. I dont have any more words other than what I have said before and now I am speechless...I would be shell-shocked if you dont get first place. What a fabulous project and so well thought out! Thanks for the opportunity to follow along! what a terrific journey....hugs....*~*CAROLE*~*
Janet, what a WOWsome quilt! It just "sings". Good luck at the fair. It has already won a blue ribbon with us as well as best of show. Off to see Lauri's now.
Janet, exquisite is THE word for this work of art. I believe perhaps I was in an RR group with you a while back. Your stitches were just so lovely and perfect. You are to be highly commended, not only for the execution of your work, but what a clever idea. It is quite beautifully done. You are defintely to be 'complimented'.

Beautiful quilt Janet. Both the color and the shape insist that the eye take it in again and again. This is sooo blue ribbon worthy!
Wonderful work Janet, a lot of success at the Country Fair!
