I finished this one off in a mini quilt - it measures 8" square. I love it! I decided my larger colorwheel needs to be put in a frame, I want to protect it from dust and kids! But this one will hang out :)
I couldn't stop doing the embroidery on Sunday when I took the pictures for the stitching tute! Football was on, my self inflicted "homework" had been completed the day before and I just sat, and stitched. It really is that sort of easy project, and seeing the colors come together as I went around is a bit addicting. Especially since it is so small :)
There's a list of everyone making a color wheel on my sidebar if you would like to see how others are approaching this project.
My own answers --
The last book I read, well I have a post about it next week . . . hold that thought! I think I will make a huge list of all the books suggested and compare notes. Do you all know paperbackswap? It's free, and a great recycle project for the books that take up too much room in your house. I suggest searching by ISBN if there's a specific book that you are looking for :)
I usually do 10-14 loads of laundry each week - I am thankful for the large front load machine that we upgraded to when I was expecting Owen. We don't keep tons and tons of clothing on hand for each child, and usually need to wash their clothing mid-week again. It works!
Shopping on Etsy is fun and pretty simple, but I don't do enough of it! I usually look at something and think "I could make it though" and "I don't really have $xxx to spend" so I continue on. I do like to shop fabric prices on there occasionally, and love (like many of you) the beautiful jewelry offered.
Seriously - Thank you - for all of your input yesterday. Be looking for a day in my life on Monday, and have a great weekend!
Blessings ~
Amy

Love the color wheel! I have been watching as you and a couple of the others have been working on them and this is an amazing project! Another one for my to-do list.
Amy, I need to finish my color wheel! I feel like such a slacker...I promised myself I wouldn't finish any more projects until I finish the quilt I'm making for my brother in law's wedding...in two weeks. Yeesh! Your color wheel is stunning :)
Amy, your colour wheel looks great. I love the way the colours just blend into each other.
Erin, you're not the only one feeling like a slacker. I haven't started mine either but hopefully I'll make a start this weekend...
The color wheel is great. Very pleasing to the eye. :)
Amy, Your Stitched colorwheel is awesome and so unique and what a lot of work. Great Job!!
Cool colorwheel! Can't wait to see the big one framed!
I need to go back and comment on yesterday's post! I'm sure I have lots of questions to ask you. :)
Your color wheel is awesome! I love the variety in the stitches!
Very cute color wheel! It must be hard to be busy with what your doing and not be able to share.
I have been watching this and am so happy to see how wonderful it looks all finished! Love it!
I love the mini quilt, just beautiful!! Can't wait to see your up to next week.
I love the way you made your color wheel into a mini quilt. Now I'm rethinking moving up to the bigger size hoop ;-)) I was able to do a little stitching today on the big color wheel. I'm saving it to work on when I'm on the go. Still have quilts to finish up for Christmas. This weekend I hope to go back to yesterday's post and comment.
COOL!!! I missed the intro to this project, so I'll have to read back and see what's up with all this color wheel stuff. ;o) Yours is truly beautiful!
so great and so much fun. i love the rainbow!
I can't believe you do THAT much laundry a week! Okay, now on to that awesome color wheel - I love how you framed it! I really want to make one of these, maybe after the Christmas season.
Colors are usually my first motivation. I liked this project from start to finish, and it is a grand little piece!
Very cool--wall worthy color wheel, who'da guessed?
Love this colour wheel and it looks stunning all framed up. Beautiful.
The stitching is lovely, great idea!!
Love your little mini! How fun to do a small version of your cool bigger quilt!
Have you heard about www.BookCrossing.com? It's also a fun club for book readers.
your colorwork is so adorable and inspirational! I'm filing it away for a winter/break from school project
I love all the colors and you do such great work.
When you first posted the first larger one I wanted to create it. But it'll have to wait until after the new year.
Thanks for sharing!
Your color wheel mini quilt is sooooo beautiful! I'm inspired! I would need to buy some purple cuz I actually don't have any left! I wonder how a color wheel would look with variegated thread?
