Part of the 1st Quarter FAL. My original post is here.
Boy am I glad this quilt top is finished! I have been working pretty hard for the past few days to get my bow-tie blocks top together in time to enter Rachel's Festival of Scrappiness. I am now officially calling this quilt Rainbow Pop and I am sure you can see why.
Boy am I glad this quilt top is finished! I have been working pretty hard for the past few days to get my bow-tie blocks top together in time to enter Rachel's Festival of Scrappiness. I am now officially calling this quilt Rainbow Pop and I am sure you can see why.

With 100- 6.5 inch blocks altogether, I guess I underestimated how much time I would need to make the last 70 or so blocks and sew them into a completed top. I even didn't leave myself much time to photograph this baby, so yesterday right after my husband got home from work, I was pulling him out the door again to go take pictures in the rain before all the light was gone. He's such a good sport!

I promise to get some better images once the quilt it finished and really capture the full awesomeness of the rainbow explosion! And yes I do think explosion is the right word for this quilt. Thankfully my love for over the top color, using scraps, and these cute little bow-tie blocks gives this almost-finish a special place in my heart. ;)
