Four more Bottled Rainbows blocks done! Add that to the teal block, and that's 5 of 16.
My favorite so far, the petal. (Cupcake Wars = check.)
Raspberry block (during my favorite Food Network show, Chopped).
Ruby block (and The Antonio Treatment).
Tangerine block (and a couple episodes of Celebrity Apprentice).
And I have most of the "bottles" done, with appropriate scraps laid out. Still deciding if I'm going to go with the suggested Konas for the four that are missing, or If I'll pick another solid that better matches my scraps.
I'm also debating on the overall layout for the quilt. I do love the way Rachel's layout flows, with all the colors in the appropriate color families. But, I've also toyed with the idea of a few blocks on the front and few on the back, with some neutral Kona sashing and a more random layout.
Anyone else have a fantasy crafting weekend? Linking up to Sew Modern Monday, Sew & Tell and W.i.P. Wednesday.
they look so nice and cheery! I think your kitty likes them too.
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome Lindsay! I think either the suggested layout or your more random idea will look great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm seeing these everywhere and I don't know how much longer I can hold out without starting my own.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would also like to take a second to thank baseball, both the real and fantasy versions, for giving me A LOT more time for my sewing pursuits. Opening day is just around the corner. : )
So beautiful! I love seeing your Bottled Rainbows quilt blocks coming in, they're so awesome!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are GREAT! The more I see of these the more I like the idea.
ReplyDeleteI love how you listed what you watched while you worked on everything. I can't seem to watch TV and sew at the same time - I get all wrapped up. But, when my husband is watching sports, I sure do get a lot of sewing done! Your bottled rainbows are looking fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat happy colors! Mom is impressed with your skills.
ReplyDeleteBig Smile on my face!
Very lovely!
ReplyDeleteThey are turning out so nice, and I can't remember the last "fantasy day" that I have had, maybe 2 years ago? I need one though! I love you petal block the best too!
ReplyDeleteThose look awesome! I'm still waiting for my Kona's to arrive, so I have a lot of catching up to do. Good job! :)
ReplyDeleteYou had a fantastic weekend! This is going to be beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I am loving this!! Great job, can't wait to see how you put it together, I dont think you can go wrong!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL! I love these bottled rainbows, they are so pretty to look at. Good luck making your decision on the final blocks!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love it! I had a "fantasy quilting day" too! While my husband was off for his draft, I finished quilting a UFO, made binding, sewed the front, hand stitched the back AND washed and dried it before he came home!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for my Konas to come so I can finally get started on my bottled rainbow!
love these blocks! It inspires me to start on my own sputtered out bottled rainbow quilt. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're on a roll! And that does sound like a perfect day to me.
ReplyDeleteI love Bottled Rainbows! And apparently cats do too!
ReplyDeleteYour Bottled Rainbows look fantastic. Loooove your quilt kitty!

ReplyDeleteI have a shirt that says, "football is NOT my fantasy" and many of the wives would wear it while crafting upstairs while the men did the fantasy draft I nthe basement. Love your quilt blocks! Totally my fantasy kind of weekend!
Your blocks are lovely! Can't wait to see how this quilt will turn out. I'm hoping to give this techinque a try soon. It looks very interesting:)
