Rainbows Underway


I got the time to get part of this rainbow quilt up on the design wall. I might need a few more blocks but I think I have most of them done now. Bonnie Hunter gave out a challenge of rail fence this summer, so I started making these. One of her ideas was to have the Checkerboard. I know I wanted to add in the challenge of rainbow scrap blocks too. I am not going to do a real complete rainbow, no yellow, more blue. 


Here is a few more blocks on the wall. I do not have all of this sewn yet. Maybe after Christmas day I can get more time in on it. I am very busy finishing up for Christmas. I have a few more gifts to sew. 


This week I have also been busy cooking Christmas Cookies and Candy. How is this for Rainbow like. I am calling it Unicorn Poop Fudge. It is made with white chocolate and food colouring and then the sprinkles. It is very very sweet. I also added Raspberry flavor to it.  


Today I started putting icing on the fancy cookies. Wow it is taking a long time. My hands are sore too. It has been a while since I have had icing bags in my hand for a full day. I will have to take a bunch of photos when I get more done on Sunday. 


I started with the white. But soon the red and green will come out. 

I have added this post to Soscrappy and the Rainbow Scrap challenge 2017. I have plans to do more for 2018.
