Well, it looks like we've seen the last of the
2000 guild squares from millinium exchange.
They are in this nearly complete top!
Just a bit of tweeking to get the rainbow
borders to fit and it should be ready for the rack.
The remaining squares from three quilters
combined to make the center of this
Rainbow Square quilt top.
It started out as piles on the Discovery table
and some raw ideas. Then, combined with
the tail end of a red squares with blue accent quilt,
and a false start on a green one,
additonal color family blocks are being stitched up to make
the rainbow border.
A wealth of low volume prints came
together to produce the neutral inner border.
This top finishes should finish around
55" x 66" and will be a great gift.

ReplyDeleteThank you , it is fun seeing it come together!
DeleteHow do you measure how much stash you have? And why bother? Between my yardage, scraps, UFOs and WIPs, it would take me weeks. I don't see the point.
ReplyDeleteWe'll, it does keep a person in check if it gets too crazy on the incoming volume.
DeleteI don't have a shopping habit so it is just a fun little metric. Also when you realize how much/fast it can add up to yardage out when you finish up the quilts , it is a weird little party in one's head!
I love all your colorful blocks and quilts they become! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThank you ! The abundance of different designs is so much fun! Have a great week stitching!
