Bottled Rainbows: Please Join Right In
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, and join us on Flickr to share your questions and work-in-progress!
Goodness! There is no way I can keep up with all the fab Bottled Rainbow blocks showing up in our pool. Your blocks are lookin good, real good! I've been also loving your solids shots. Rainbow LOVE!
These are the exact solids in the Bottled Rainbow Fat Quarter Set, photographed by Maureen with a pincushion she made from scraps!
This solid stack photographed by AquaKnits shows some of the alternate Konas I suggested, such as Ivy, Rich Red, Bubblegum and Deep Blue.
A little birdie told me that we have lots of new artists joining this Quilt-Along right now, so here's a quick review of where we've been so far:

make a Bottled Rainbow block in the Quilt-As-You-Go method
If you want to follow the "official" quilt-along progress, this week we're making block #2 of any color you'd like. But, I don't think anyone is following at that pace? From the looks of things, most of you are getting way too excited for "leisurely" (wink). And, that's fine. I think I'll try to go slow myself so that no one feels rushed. You know, that way you can keep saying, "well, at least I'm not going as slow as Rachel!" No prob. Glad to help!
This week I made my lighter orange block, in Kona School Bus orange. This block will go beside Ruby and under Pumpkin.
Oh, what's that? Did you notice that I've made 3 blocks? Well, that's entirely not my fault. I had to make an example block, remember? I think this means I can skip a week if life gets particularly crazy. Ooh, that's like insurance I might actually use! Cool.
Have a wonderful day, everyone!
