Well, obviously I've still been distracted. I have found time to sew and quilt, it's the sitting down at the computer to write a post that I have a hard time with. Now it's summer, and that creates a whole lot of different distractions....
I finished up my Rainbow Scraps quilt several months ago, and I still love it. It's so colorful.
I've seen this quilt several times around blogland, and I love each of
those too. You can't go wrong with scraps and rainbows, I suppose.
I copied Jolene, and went with black and white for the binding. I almost did grey, but this was just so much better.
blue on the back, and all from my stash! Yay! It's my ongoing goal--to try to use up my stash. In my mind I have visions of using up my entire stash, and then being able to add to it. But the reality is, I have got to get sewing if I want that to happen.
It's so cheerful!
ReplyDeleteI seriously gasped when the pictures loaded up of this quilt! It is so beautiful! I love every piece of it!
ReplyDeleteit looks awesome, Nettie! i was so excited to see a post from you pop up in my reader. yay!
ReplyDelete(i know all about the summer schedule changes. i will be feeling your pain later this week when the kids get out of school. i'm a little scared, lol!)
just gorgeous! This is such an amazing, happy, bright quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm having the same struggle getting posts up, or sewing time too for that matter. ;)
The quilt really looks great!
Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd I understand feeling torn about using up your stash. I want to but then start to panic if I use up too much of any one fabric. So silly!
What a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm a sucker for anything rainbow.
ReplyDeleteI meant to get in touch with you sooner, but I wanted to thank you for putting together your zigzag quilt tutorial. It inspired me to get off the fence and make my first quilt, a rainbow zigzag quilt. Here's a pic: http://thenearestfuture.blogspot.com/2012/02/mimis-rainbow-quilt.html
I love your blog--thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful and cheerful! I love the striped binding and backing too. Perfect! www.paperstarfish.prettyposies.com
ReplyDeleteAn absolutely gorgeous quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteReally really nice. I love it.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I do love a good rainbow quilt, and this one is stunning. I bet you had fun sifting through your scraps and deciding which to use.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty quilt! You can't go wrong with a rainbow, and yours is a gorgeous example.
ReplyDeleteWow this is so gorgeous, well done! I have just finished piecing a rainbow squares quilt top made with lots of bits of my favourite vintage fabrics, I'm pleased with it so far but I think your scrappy design is more interesting than squares - something to try in the future! Thanks for the inspiration. :) Rachel @myrainbowvintagehome.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLove your rainbow scrappy quilt...very pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic quilt!
ReplyDeleteI dream of having a stash big enough to do this! Great job. Do you know what the flower fabric you used on the back is?
ReplyDeleteBut what a stash it is! You have so many beautiful fabrics. Enjoy them =) The siren call of new fabrics is strong, I know.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt! Very nice, definitely one to put on my "someday" list :)

ReplyDeleteI love your rainbow quilt. The black and white strip binding sets i off nicely. Good job.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. I have two baby quilts to make in the next six months (one for me, eek!), and I just might do something like this.
