I'm happy with the blues but there is still one triangle in the blue green that is sticking out to me, overall though I'm feeling the rainbow is working so just need to get to sewing it up now to catch up.

Design wall Monday - Catching up with the Rainbow Rose!
I need a bigger design wall! So far my 80" version of the Rainbow Rose is looking like this! There are pinks hiding behind the purples and the yellows are a bit squished trying to fit it all on the wall! Standing as far back as I could in the kitchen this was all I could fit in the photo this morning - might have to go wider than 18mm on the lens to get it all in!

I've had to leave it there on the wall to get on with making up the samples for the border options for this weeks post on Wednesday. This involved drawing up templates in 2 sizes for some optional applique and fiddling on the computer to get them in a PDF format! It always amazes me how you can lose hours of your life messing about with software!
Looking forward to sharing them and releasing this weeks post on Wednesday on assembly. We will also have our final look at the colour wheel - I have some very cool quilt tops from Paula Rafferty to share as our last colour exploration! See you on Wednesday over on the Modern Quilters Ireland Blog?

Wow, I'm curious if once you start sewing together if the quilt will fit on your wall better? It might still be too big! I am definitely looking forward to the final week's instructions; this has been a really fun quilt along; thank you!
ReplyDeleteDesign walls are wonderful, and so is transparent tape to hold everything that hangs over the edges! I would double the size of my design wall if the room were larger. Your colors are so bright and clear, I love where your quilt is heading.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning! I am really sorry that I could not do this bright and spectacular quilt along at this time! I have been seeing Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl's progress and love her choices. But sometimes when our plates our overflowing we really have to stop, pay attention, and just say no. Now that I follow you maybe there will be another opportunity. Thanks for sharing your lovely quilt layout and have a fantastic creative day!
ReplyDeleteYou did a lot of work to put it together all at once, and it's looking great. I've actually finished this week's task, but then decided to replace a couple of triangles in the corners (because I bought some new fabric ;)) so will be posting later.
ReplyDeleteThis is looking really lovely Ruth - and it;s been wonderful popping over to everyone who is linking up and seeing how different they all look. Looking forward to this week's instructions and I have even been thinking about how I will quilt it! Thanks for a great QAL.
ReplyDeleteOh it looks fantastic! I only just talked myself out of joining in, and then only because I properly ran out of time. Yours looks wonderfully colourful :)
ReplyDeleteOooh! I forgot about borders. Can you tell that I am not very good at reading instructions?
ReplyDeleteYes, hours disappear on the computer.
It's looking great on your design wall! I kind of like the cropped picture :)

I didn't realize yours was so big. It looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow that's big! You must be patient with the software: I'd have thrown something at the screen after the first hour! I like your rose a lot and am really enjoying seeing these pop up all over the place at the moment too.
