Rainbow Show and Tell so far

 For the last 6 months we have all been working on our rainbow strips and quilts. Jo has written the process story on her blog.

I thought I would now add images of our quilts so far. We each had to create a quilt from an assortment of strips made by different members...

Betty's quilt is a simple strip quilt bagged with no binding.
It is backed with polar fleece.

Elaine sewed her strips together  then cut the quilt top diagonally.
She has backed it in yellow and rainbow polar fleece
then bound it with rainbow diagonal stripes

Stephanie decided not to use all 6 strips then
added a coloured diamond to the bottom (top)
to lengthen the quilt. 
It is backed with polarfleece.

Karen removed one block from each strip
and inserted them as diamonds as a diagonal feature.

Jo used her strips to create a corner feature. 
She had to make a few more bits of purple and blue.
She used all the trimmed off pieces to create a binding for the quilt.
Find her process on her Butterz blog.

Carol has taken a set of strips home at our last gathering and will create another quilt for our collection. Janice also has a set of strips but will probably donate her quilt to her favourite charity.

I am still waiting for the strips that Deana made before we divvy up the remaining strips.

Rainbow Progression

 Progress with our quilts went a little further last Saturday. We had a small group with Stephanie, Karen, Elaine and a long awaited visit from Carol.

While we on zoom I did my usual walk around showing off our finished Pebbles flimsy and tacked it ready for quilting and also two quilts I am currently working on.

Thank you to the ladies for helping me sandwich my Surrey's Shirts quilt.

Then there was a show and tell by Elaine - a quilt using lots of half square triangles donated by Jenny at Scrub Stitchin'. The quilt looks like a Persian Rug.

Jo joined us on zoom while she was teaching at a quilt group in Mildura. She was able to show us progress on many different zig-zag quilts. See them on ButterZ. They are just amazing! What a stunning way to use up more scraps.

Karen brought along her finished Rainbow quilt to add to our collection.

Soon we'll be able to have a virtual show and tell with everyone's contributions.

Once Deana's rainbow strips arrive from Utah we'll be able to divvy up to make the remaining quilts.

Thanks to all those who joined in either in person or virtual. It was a fun gathering.

Surrey's Shirts continued

 Between doctor appointments and other commitments last week I was able to finish my May Chookshed Challenge quilt top.

I now have to decide on borders, backing and binding. I rather like the idea and such a simple block! Thank you Stephanie.
