RSC15 week 27

 ON TOP OF THE RAINBOW

It's been a busy quilting week for me. It's also been beautiful weather, not yet in the 80's. Happily I am on schedule to have the zigzag rainbow quilt pinned at our group meeting on Monday.  So here is part of the red streak for July.  It has been a lot of fun matching up the various fabrics and some colors are not as easy as others, red being one, because it doesn't have a very wide range from light to dark.
 

Below is the top third of the rainbow so far.  I'm so happy that I promised this to Sarah, my granddaughter, for her birthday on the 17th.  The charity quilts are very gratifying to make, but then I say goodbye to them.  This will be around for many years, I hope.



I link up with Angela at Rainbow Scrap Challenge, and with Alyce at Sew Cute Tuesday.

  1. Great progress. I know what you mean about the red...I have a lot of red and black fabric that can work for very dark...but that doesn't work in every quilt.

  2. Very nice rainbow! Lucky granddaughter! And it really is hard to find good reds, unless it's Christmas fabric, which has it's own troubles.

  5. Love the zigzag quilt! I agree with red challenges. I mix my scrappy red prints with red on white prints for contrast.
