Paintbox quilt completed

A Rainbow Scrap Challenge finish.

Paintbox quilt

These were fun blocks to make for the RSC, and it took me a couple (maybe even three) years to get all the blocks completed.

I seem to like making blocks, but when it comes to sewing them together into a quilt top I get stalled.  January always gets me in the finishing mode so I decided to tackle the sashing, and then when Angela challenged us to finish a Rainbow Project for the end of the month, I knew it was Paintbox. Quilted with the Baptist Fan pantograph by Hermione Agee and a white Glide thread.

I like the way Elizabeth Hartman designed her quilt back and followed as close as I could, however I didn’t have enough solids, so I completed three rows and left it at that.

The wind was blowing today, so it was tricky trying to get a photo without the quilt being tossed.  You might also notice that a portion of the scrappy binding is not sewn, it will be finished tonight!

I started this quilt from a tutorial on Elizabeth Hartman’s blog, however she has redone her web presence and Paintbox is not included.  For anyone who is interest, I was able to find a free pattern download at Robert Kaufman Fabrics.

Now over Soscrappy for the last day of the month Rainbow ScrapFinishes!
