I was a bit late getting in on the Bottled Rainbows Quilt Along. I got a few of my Kona solids over the weekend, so I figured it was about time to start.
I made the cerise block first. I know it might sound crazy, but this block was so freaking fun to put together! It’s fun picking out the scraps to match the block color, it’s fun assembling them like a puzzle, and it’s fun sewing them down with a zig-zag stitch. The best part? The block is now completely quilted! Yep, that’s right, the back of the block is a piece of batting, so my most dreaded part of making a quilt is just about finished when I’m done with the block (eh, alright, I do have to attach the backing to the quilt top at the end, but I’m just planning on doing a stitch-in-the-ditch at the seams, so it’s going to be pretty painless).
Wanna do this too? It’s not too late to join in…this quilt along is running through June. 🙂
Oooo, so pretty Sara!
I love the bird and camera!
I am waiting for the etsy shop to get the Kona set back in stock for the colors :o( Your is really beautiful Sara!
This is probably my favorite color for the whole quilt, and I LOVE the fabrics you used! Beautiful.
Love your block! I still need to get started, but just can’t get enough of all the colors and scraps!!
pretty! I love seeing all the pictures of the rainbow blocks, and yours are no exception!
I have seen these blocks on various blogs and just love them. Such a great idea and really colorful. Wish I actually had scraps to make one. Good luck on the rest of your blocks!
I too am late getting started on the Bottled Rainbows quilt. I ordered Kona Solids from Pink Chalk and should be getting them this week. I really like your block. I am trying to decide if I should go for all large pieces or a mix of large and small. I guess it will depend on my stash of scraps.
Ooh, its lovely! Love the bird, the tufted tweets and the camera in particular. Its so fun! I want to do a few blocks in this QAL as either a mini-quilt or as mug rugs/placemats. Must must get started after seeing yours!
I love it! I am putting this on my to-do list for someday. Can’t wait to see the rest.
I love seeing all these blocks. This is definitely the prettiest quilt along! Love your cerise block, that’s one of my favorite colors.
