The good thing about having several projects underway at all times is that when your energy/space/time is limited there's always something you can work on. The Rainbow quilt has been good for me this week because I could work on it in bits of time when I had the energy. Eventually I got it done!  It's king sized and for the moment I have it draped over the guest bed. I seriously love this quilt.  Finding that this quilt back will fit was a stroke of good luck.. This is folded in quarters and the lime area is the center. The motif of squares works great with the front. I dyed this for another project and it didn't work out. I'm glad it's going to work out for this one.  When I started making the Rainbow quilt I picked a lot of fabric and cut it all out. I got so carried away that I have enough blocks for a lap quilt! I laid this out on the floor last night so I wouldn't have to plan it at the next sewing with my quilt club.  I have all of the rows clipped and read to sew next month.  There are even more blocks left over! I'll plan a baby quilt or something with these and the scraps from all the cutting after I finish the lap quilt.

Gorgeous quilt, and the back is perfect! It's the perfect quilt for a dyer such as yourself. I'm assuming this stays with you, correct? A truly fun quilt. Congratulations. 1/19/2017 06:27:41 pm
Very colorful and fun! It has been so gray here that your quilt really brightens things up! Can't wait to see the quilting.

What a pretty quilt! Draped over the guest bed that way, the triangle border looks like pennants. Very cheerful! 1/20/2017 07:50:44 am
What's not to love about that fun colorful quilt, just what one needs to look at on these winter days! And what a great back. 1/20/2017 08:31:23 am
I love your rainbow quilt! The colors are gorgeous and the simple piecing really shows them off. Perfect backing fabric too! 1/20/2017 09:28:23 am
Great choice for the backing! That will make the back look so good that the quilt will be reversible.

Such a fun fun quilt. I want it on my bed! Unfortunately, too much on my plate and too little in the fabric fund right now. But I can tell you I would love to get into your scrap pile when you are done with it. Your fabrics are just glorious. One of these days . . . Comments are closed.
