I love it! Is it ok if I send a photo of it to Kim (the designer)? She’s a friend of mine and loves to see what people make with it.
I love how you used grunge fabric. And I love the spiky spokes you added. It gives it such a modern look. I’ve made several myself. And I thought of that idea too of making them for different holidays or seasons. Fun! My favorite so far that I’ve done is a Halloween one.

The fabric actually isn't grunge though it looks like it. I used chambray tonals fabric....a line from Connecting threads.
Thank you for the lovely comments everyone! Such a fun project!

I have always loved this pattern whenever I see a picture on the web so decided to make one in a color wheel.m I didn't have a pattern. I used my Zimmerman 8" Easy Dresden template (18 degree) because I wanted 20 wedges....then I just made my own applique pieces. One can certainly go crazy with adding fun stuff to your neighborhood like trees, floral's, flags etc..... I did make a church but limited the fun embellishment because I wanted the color wheel to be primary focus. However, wouldn't it be fun to make 4 different neighborhoods representing each season and make a quilt? Or using "sky" background fabric. The ideas are endless. This is 24" squared and is mostly a wall hanging but I made this into a giant pillow for my front entry bench. I ordered a 24" pillow form so it was easy enough to do a pocket pillow. Anywhoooo..applique is turned edge and machine sewn using monofilliment clear and smoke colors from Superior Threads. I'm going to make another one as a gift for my real estate agent....when he sells my house. Lol!! Perfect gift for a real estate agent don't you think?
