So a couple months ago, I started on this color wheel wall hanging for my sewing room. Well, we put the house on the market, I did two commission pieces, and this just kinda got put on the back-burner.

Well, I used a metallic thread by Wonderfil, and it was so fussy. I didn't know what kind of quilting I would do, so I experimented with a couple things, and I have to pick out a little part and finish it. This metallic thread is a little diva and doesn't like coming out of quilts! Anyway, I'm not worried about finishing it any time soon, since we'll be moving in a few weeks.

Bowtie blocks are one of my most favorite blocks.

Oh, side note - DH wanted to do the color placement, and this is what he came up with. I think he has a future in pattern design ;)

It's a cute colorwheel quilt. And I agree, your dh might have a future in pattern design, he did great with color placement. Using that thread would have finished me on the project, I never would have completed it.

I completely agree with metallic thread! I did a little spider web on a garden quilt, it's on the first quilt thread, and I only embroidered it on. NEVER AGAIN! The thread broke, wouldn't tread, wouldn't hold a knot, or unwound, but I think you're using a different brand. But the quilt is wonderful and if it gets put on hold for a while, maybe one day you'll come back to it and know exactly what you want to do! good luck!
