DQS #9 Quilt Finished and in the Mail!

I am calling this quilt "The Spinning Colorwheel Star."  It is inspired by a quilt I saw online.  Sorry, but I don't know where I saw it, so I can't give a link.  But what I can tell you is that I was intrigued by the design.  The original was done in solid colors with a black background  and had a pieced outer border.  I've seen spinning colorwheels before, but never a star.   I tried going online and googling a pattern for it, but couldn't find one so I had to make my own.  If someone knows the correct name for the pattern and can tell me where to find one, I would LOVE it!!  Let me just say that I felt like chasing the mailman to get it back after he took it today.  I decided to break in to my FMF stash.  I am trying to use what I have and not be such a hoarder when it comes to certain fabrics.  It took me FOREVER to figure out how to get this to work.  The first time I made it, I couldn't get the colors in the right sequence,  I had to add it to the scrap pile.    After more trial and error, I got the final quilt.   I am happy with how it turned out and  I hope my partner likes it!
