RSC Finish! Bottled Rainbows and Scrappy Rainbow Hearts

Scrappy Rainbow Hearts

I came across this pattern in January of 2015 when I first found Angela's RSC Group.  I was so excited to find patterns that I could for each color of the month!  Why did it take so long?  Not sure.  It was really easy to do!

The link to the website for this free pattern can be found here.http://funthreads.blogspot.com/p/free-quilt-patterns.html

The quilting was fun.

Next up!

Bottled  Rainbow Quilt
I believe I started this sometime in late 2011.  I was so excited to start it but I don't think I had my fabric organized well enough to finish at the time.  I did, however, make all of my framed blocks in the beginning, but just couldn't get around to doing the most fun part of putting those odd shapes on there.

Here is a link to the original SAL

Close-up of quilting

I just felt like the frames needed some quilting so I chose to put curved lines horizontally and vertically. My first attempt was pitiful and I "un-quilted" six vertical lines of quilting but after that I was happy with the results.

Another close-up of the quilting.

Finally, the back.  I probably should have put more thought into selecting my backing fabrics but it is growing on me.  With hindsight, I do wish I would have appliqued the fabric pieces with straight line stitching instead of zigzag, but I don't think any of my children or grandchildren will care. LOL

I have really been encourage by Angela's RSC group.  Both Angela and everyone who links up to her group have such good ideas for using scraps.
