Bottled Rainbow



My Bottled Rainbow - Scrap busting Quilt for 2012

I decided last year that I would make at least one scrap busting quilt a year. 
 Last year it was my Rainbow Postage Stamp Quilt 
and this year it is my version of the Bottled Rainbow Quilt.  

My aim is to make one block a week and because I can't think of 
anything witty to call my posts or a day that rhymes with "Bottled Rainbow" 
I have just decided to try and post about the a block at the end of the week 
so just making it for this week and only being finished late this afternoon
is my first block :)

Ruby Block


If you want to come a sew this one with me, please do.
We can help keep each other going :o)

All the info that you need is over on Stitched in Color

This is a great quilt to make with your scraps of fabric and your batting scraps.
So no wastage :o)

This will also be my first attempt at "ticker tape" and Quilt as you go.

Enjoy what is left of your weekend.
I am about to sit down with a Milo and enjoy a 
quiet night in front of the TV.

Hugs, Sharon
