Rainbow Top


Rainbow quilt top is finally done. I keep thinking I will get a better outdoor photos but we have a snow mud mix outside (snow today). The quilt is large and takes up all of my design wall. 


Here I was looking at what I could use for a sashing and a boarder. I interviewed nine patches in all the rainbow colours. Kind of OK for sashing but maybe too thick and large. The triangles for a boarder was OK too but the angles just did not do it for me when the blocks were so square. I was liking the fine strip of printed Rainbow fabric. 


I did one rainbow strip set and hung up, Yes piano key boarder was more what I was looking for. 


The blocks are together in this photo and I am double checking the strip sets for the piano keys. 


I looked back and some of the blocks were made back in 2013. 


Pink and lime green.


Green blocks, also found in the 2013 photos. 

I will add this post to Socrappy and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday and Confessions of a Fabric Addict

  1. What a beautiful, inspiring, quilt! I love the varying centers surrounded by the unifying borders. The sashing and piano keys are perfect, too.

  3. Love everything about your quilt: the blocks, the narrow rainbow sashing and the piano keys borders. Really great! Well worth working on over the past five years.
