When we put up all of my new school room shelves I decided I needed rainbow quilts in the wall space above the desks since my books are arranged in color order. What I had in mind for one side was this quilt from Purl. I drew up a pattern to fit my wall and raided my scrap bin. My mom also sent me a box of her scraps and I bought a few more.
This is my first time piecing curves, so it’s far from perfect. My seam allowances on my rainbow ended up a smudge less than 1/4″, so my top came out a bit ripply. I could have ripped it apart and started over, I guess, but I’m more into getting things done than I am into perfection. I just made good use of my iron and quilted concentric circles to remedy the waviness.
I like it on my wall. It is bright and cheery.
Who knows when I’ll get to making something to hang above the other desk…

Your quilted color wheel is emblematic of the art you bring to your family. How about a quilted periodic table above the other desk? Every element has a color… And squares are easier than curves.
