Color Theory Quilt
I am enjoying a color theory 101 class. We have an assignment to create something using all of the different color schemes.
I share my quilts with the class and our instructor encourages me to use what I learn in fabric.
Does anyone have any ideas on which quilt block or pattern I might use to demonstrate color schemes.
It doesn't need to be a large project, just a wall hanging or table topper would be fine.
Just looking for some different ideas.

Many years back I took a course, I'll try to attach a photo of the wallhanging our teacher had us make. [ATTACH=CONFIG]427381[/ATTACH]
I'm sorry I don't remember how I made it, but the teacher was Jane Norquay here in BC

Without also participating in the class to know what "color schemes" you have studied it is difficult to offer a suggestion. Color scheme can mean any number of things. Like you may have studied "Monochromatic" color schemes, or graduated color wheel color schemes (going from like say yellow to orange to red to purple to blue to green back to yellow with the tertiary colors included) or did you study Complimentary color schemes (the opposing side of the color wheel, like Green's compliment is Red, Blue's is Orange, Purple is Yellow). Has Achromatic color scheme been discussed? (no color just value in shades of grays (this would make a cool background))
If you tell us what color schemes you studied then maybe we can offer suggestions more directed to the assignment. French braid is definitely a possibility as is log cabin, Pineapple, chinese coin or even a quilted depiction of the color wheel using a wedge ruler.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I thought of it when I read your post.
