Today I basted one of my Rainbow scrap challenge quilts. This one will be for my great niece, Evelyn. I used a purple & blue backing because according to my grandson Charlie, Evie likes purple the best.
I'll be doing two rainbow quilts...two sisters. I'm going to start FMQing this tomorrow so that I have time to add binding... done by Friday? We'll see.

Starting a Family Room Quilt
Here I go again. Starting a new quilt π My daughter Jenn came over and sorted through my HUGE pile of fabrics I dumped in the family room. I was struggling to choose fabrics that coordinated. She said I had too many so she narrowed them down these.

This is her picks on the floor. I like what she chose...they look perfect.
I guess paying for that fine arts degree paid off.The last few days I've gone through a bunch of patterns trying to decide what kind of quilt I wanted. I was thinking something simple. Also, I wanted stars.
So here's what I picked...an Ohio Star block. These will be the main part of the quilt...20 blocks, I think. The sashing might be dark or it might be scrappy...flying geese or 1/2 square triangles?..I'll figure that out later. There's even a possibility that I'll skip sashing and just alternate dark and light stars. Still deciding...So right now, I'm putting the third block together. I'm using a pattern I found in a vintage magazine. It's easy cutting and so far fast sewing.
