Rainbow quilt
During my quilting marathon last month, I quilted this "lockdown rainbow" quilt made up from a stash of blocks that had resurfaced after over 10 or 15 years at the bottom of a draw...
I quilted clouds on the blue squares and various rainbows or other designs on the coloured squares.
For the binding, I used left over strips that I found in my scrap baskets.Finally this month I finished sewing the binding by hand at the back.
A true UFO and also a stash buster since I have used left over fabric for the backing and binding as well as very old blocks lying around.
Rainbow was my One monthly goal for June.
Quilt stats:
blocks from pre-2010 and left-over from Scrappy trip quilt made in 2019
assembled 7x7 in April 2020
backing and binding from my stash
quilted in May 2020 (during lockdown) with King Tut #
Size: 56' square
All that was left to do, was my least favorite job, to bury the thread ends. But I am happy that is all done now.

Way to knock out a UFO!! I really like the understated rainbow effect that you created. I'm usually an in-your-face, super-BRIGHT rainbow quilt kind of girl! :o))
