Purl Soho founder Joelle Hoverson’s Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts is at least ten years old (!), but the projects inside are still as fresh as ever. The super popular Color-Wheel Quilt looks just as amazing as it did in 2007 and remains one of our most quintessentially “Purl Soho” projects.

Sadly, Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts is no longer in print, but happily, we now offer the Color-Wheel Quilt Pattern all on its own! Its new incarnation includes templates, step-by-step instructions, and is available as a hard copy or PDF download (NOTE: The hard copy of this pattern is no longer available, but it can still be purchased as a PDF!)… Saved from the obscurity of out-of-print books!

The Color-Wheel Quilt uses 52 different prints that run the rainbow, and if you’re talking about color and prints, there is no fabric better than Liberty of London’s Tana Lawn. We’ve put together a beautiful selection in our Liberty Color-Wheel Bundle, so full of fresh energy and joy, we’ll probably be talking about the Color-Wheel Quilt for another ten years!
