Hello friends!
I am super excited to share with you all my updated quilt pattern, Wheels of Fortune.
The original version of this quilt was made using my Eureka range of fabrics that was released wayyyyyyy back in 2016. This collection of fabrics had 4 main groups of colours and I repeated each wheel four times. However the requirements were quite restrictive so I wanted to loosen things up a bit, add some extra sizes and make it scrap friendly.
The Wheels of Fortune Quilt pattern comes with instructions for 3 sizes, Baby, Throw and Queen.
All three sizes can be made using fat quarters or fat eights.
This quilt is designed to be scrappy so in my opinion the more fabrics the better however the requirements also include an option for a one fabric background.
The version I am sharing here with you today has a very eclectic low volume background which I adore. So many fun prints in there!
The pattern includes a colouring sheet for each size to help plan your layout. I can already see a rainbow version can't you?
Please remember to tag me if you use IG and use the hashtag #wheelsoffortunequiltso I can see your beautiful creations.

To make the quilt extra special, I have also used quite a number of fabrics from my own fabric ranges.

The quilt is made with foundation piecing using the freezer paper method. There are step by step photographs included in the pattern and you can also check out some tutorials I made in instagram for extra guidance.
You can find them here.

If freezer paper pieicng isn't your thing you can also just use your preferred foundation method.
To make life easier a set of templates is also available.
These will make cutting all the shapes required for the quilt much quicker and easier.
The templates are also included in the pattern so there is also the option to make your own.

Now this quilt also features curves. Please don't walk away because you haven't tried curves before. The pattern is designed for first time curve sewers!
First up, the curves are big. I find when sewing a curve it is easier on a larger block.
Secondly, this pattern has a trimming component. After you have sewn the block together, it gets trimmed down. This will straighten up any wonky edges and leave you with a perfect quarter circle to make into a block.
Have you seen me on instagram sharing some more videos from my Quilts from the Cupboard series? If you haven't I'm not suprised because my reach is being somewhat limited by a certain platform. Who knows why but for those of you that have missed them I have been slowly working through all the quilts from my book.
You can view them on either Instagram or Facebook.
I have also started a YouTube channel which I have been slowly adding all my Quilts from the Cupboard series too, however I do have plans to start creating some tutorials so please go and follow me there.
