We actually started collected the fabric several years ago because he was supposed to help me work on the project so it would sit until he was ready to help. It is being paper pieced.

The gradation was challenge, especially for me because I would get one spot the way I liked it and end up with another area that I thought it needed to blend better but I stepped back and let him chose when to add or subtract and where. He's happy with where it is going and that's what counts.

Thank you. Between him and I we came up with the pattern ourselves but it follows the round bargello style quilts to some degree. We aren't duplicating any of the spokes (as I have been calling them) around the circle. There are 32 spokes, 32 colors, 32 rings from center out. I didn't know about the wedge rulers before I started this project so I am paper-piecing this project and so far. . . I'm loving it.

Thank you! Don't look too closely than because this was definitely done by amateurs. LOL. Son was 12-14 when we started this process, he will be 21 next month. I am ready to collect again for another one though.

Thank you all for your words of kindness and encouragement. I appreciate all of you who stopped by and shared. It is definitely turning out to be a favorite of mine. I have had several (outside of here) ask for a pattern so I am working on something. Never thought it would be that popular, but I think it is cool that it is. Thanks again everyone!
