I had to choose 20 different fabrics, then cut 3 strips ( WOF ) of each color 1 inch wide and sew them together in the correct order. Then sew the strip sets together to make a tube. I made 1and 1/2 with the seams pressed to the right and 1 1/2 sets pressed to the left. I was told to use a slightly longer stitch length as that makes it easier to take apart Then they are cut into 2 3/4 inch strips (be careful to keep the piles separate) as to the direction they are pressed in. Next open a tube starting with the first and last seam. Then take a strip from the other pile and open it between strip 1 and strip 2. Continue to open the strips one notch down from the previous once you have 10 strips open (making sure they are correct) then cut them with the 9 degree ruler and sew them together. You now should have 1/4th of the circle done. My circle measures 27 inches finished. Anyone who has attempted a bargello knows how important accurate seam allowances are:(

Your instructions: "Then they are cut into 2 3/4 inch strips" doesn't seem logical. Should that be 20-3/4" strips or something longer than 2 3/4"?

Absolutely beautiful! Great job!

I have been wanting to do one too but never quite get the nerve. You did a lovely job and I like your color placement.

Wow is right! I could look at it for hours. Simply stunning.

Wow that is mind boggling! You chose great colors and did it so perfectly!

wow,that is beautiful

Is the binding pieced to match the stripes?

Amazing!!! Love it !!

Beautiful. I think I need to expand beyond my traditional blocks line of thought.

That is sew gorgeous. I can just see it on the table with a small vase of flowers in the center. Great job

once you have the tubes of sewn together strips, the tubes are cut into 20 (2 3/4 in.) strips which are then taken apart at the correct place so you have now a flat piece that you lay the 9 degree ruler on to cut . Does that make it any clearer. It is really hard to explain myself. If all else fails and you want to make the topper , send me a pm with your address and I will send you a copy of the pattern. I called our quklt guild member and he said that he used parts of other patterns to develop this one

No binding. just turned inside out. I think that is referred to "pillowcasing" ?

I have a beta fish and I have my fish vase in the middle of it on my table!!!!

That is stunning. I love your colors. Thanks for sharing.

That is so pretty. Great job!

Totally outrageously gorgeous.

Is this lovely thing a jelly tool trick?

I would like the name of the pattern also. Beautiful.

I also love your pattern. I also would appreciate the pattern.

Camille, I have made the spicy spiral also and when I first saw the one displayed by peppermint, I thought it was the same one until I went and found my pattern and realized it wasn't. The spicy spiral used a 9 degree wedge ruler and 8 fat quarters and it was by School House Quilts.

That is very pretty!! What size is it? Thinking it would make a beautiful table topper.

very beautiful colors !! great work
