I really love how this Rainbow Scrap Challenge project has turned out!
Again, this particular block design is another by Kim Brackett, from her book Scrap Basket Sensations.
I struggled (again) to pick a pantograph for this one. It is very possible I have too many pantographs. LOL I had three pantographs I was trying to choose between and then at the last moment, I changed my mind and went with something entirely different. I ended up using the Villa Rose Panto 2 by Donna Kleinke of One Song Needle Arts. I used a thread that blended into the creamy background color.
Update: It's bound and finished!

What a great design - love how the 'leaves' pull it all together. Gorgeous border too. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think it's a wonderful design for scrappy quilts.
DeleteWhat a fabulous quilt! I always find choosing the quilting design is tough, too :)
ReplyDeleteIt seems like I spend as long choosing a pantograph as doing the quilting. I definitely need to stop buying more of them. LOL
DeleteIt turned out beautiful,all the colors just flow together so well
ReplyDeleteThank you. This little quilt turned out better than I expected. I am definitely going to have to do another RSC project next year.
DeleteWhat a pretty quilt. Love your border and backing fabrics, perfect for this quilt.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too. I was so excited when I found it in my boxes of stash fabric. I think for this coming year, I will choose my border fabrics first and then choose the appropriate-colored scraps to go with the border.
DeleteSEW pretty!! Best of luck with the label making and finishing of this RSC project.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am still trying to figure out a way to make durable quilt labels without spending thousands of dollars on an embroidery machine. LOL
Deleteyour border and backing fabric works wonderfully with the pieced blocks!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! Love the spinning of the blocks. I just checked and my local library has the book available in the region. May need to check it out!
ReplyDeleteKim Brackett has some great block ideas for RSC. I'm already trying to decide what I'll work on next year.
DeleteI do have this book and have admired this pattern in it - what a great idea to use it for the RSC. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe finished quilt exceeded my expectations, but I think it's really the border fabric that does it. I was so happy to find that in my stash.
DeleteOh that is a great RSC quilt - those blocks are really cool!! and the total quilt is awesome!!! Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Now I need to figure out which of my family/friends needs more rainbow in their life.
DeleteAnother beautiful quilt Sharon. You’re an inspiration, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am definitely glad I participated in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. It put me outside of my comfort zone but my projects turned out pretty good.
