This post is part of a series Bottled Rainbows {ticker tape quilt along}. You can join in anytime. We're going at a leisurely pace and using up our scraps! Please see this page for links to all posts.

How goes your Bottled Rainbows?

Today I completed the Turquoise block, which lives on the far right row of the Bottled Rainbow color grid, beside Teal.  Turquoise or aqua is a color that abounds in modern fabrics, so this was another Bottled Rainbow block for which I had more than enough scraps.

I really enjoyed the angles that played into this block, as well as the appearance of yet another Anne Kelle owl.

See, there's also one on the yellow block. Most of my blocks have either an Anne Kelle owl or an Alexander Henry butterfly.  It'll be a fun discovery for some little person!

I love how each Bottled Rainbow block embodies such a lively, distinct color.  Have you ever tried using yours to play with color schemes?  My last three completed blocks have a happy-go-lucky summer vibe that I hope to channel into my brewing beach blanket quilt.  The Kona cottons that border these blocks are Peacock, Buttercup and Cerise.  I love them together, but I'll definitely be adding fabrics in orange and lime as well to round out my beachy color mix.

I have just 4 blocks left of the 16 needed for a complete Bottled Rainbow quilt.  But, I'm having so much fun with my rainbow stack that I haven't pieced any more rows together since that first post on joining blocks.  Maybe next week - - -
