Swimmin' in a Rainbow

Still chuggin' along on this Scrappy Quilt-Along over at Ellison Lane Quilts and working on getting all thses blocks made!

I thought I was all done, even made a couple of extras but when I had it all laid out in my kids' room my daughter informed me that she would like this quilt. So I'm thinking ahead and trying to make it a twin, which now I come to find out is HUGE! 72"x98" is what I'm shooting for which apparently is still cutting it a little short.

Never in a million years would I have thought that browns and yellows would be my favorite colors and blocks out of the bunch! Well maybe in a hundred years...I do LOVE Fall.

Really likin' the reds too and making a few more of those now.

It's funny. I assumed I was a modern type quilter but I'm beginning to find out that although I ADORE so many cool designs in the modern quilt world such as this (isn'tthat just to die for??) and this I am liking the shabby look a little more these days. With that in mind I was drawn towards cute little vintagey calicos more than my modernish fabrics. BUT I'm not one to reside in a small genre and pride myself in being able to transcend boundaries so you may see my next quilt an ultra modern solid print quilt. I go through phases.

Thanks for stoppin' by!
