I can quilt a rainbow!

Lots of fun over the weekend playing around with scraps of every colour (except brown!). I have made enough blocks for a nice Linus quilt, and will join them together tomorrow.


My problem was that there aren't enough colours in the rainbow to make a big enough quilt - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet is only 7 rows, and I don't think even my extensive stash will have the required number of indigo and violet scraps! So I decided to make blue/green (alias turquoise) and blue as two rows, which should be OK. I've made 8 blocks of each colour, so the quilt will finish up bigger than this. Very keen to see how it turns out!
