Waning Rainbows

This time of year, in a flurry of finishes, I'm afraid my rainbow sewing becomes a bit dull.  This week was a slog through my enormous pile of untrimmed scraps, which had gotten out of control thanks to all of this month's quilt backings.  Fortunately, they are all neatly put away and ready for new adventures.

I quilted my churn dash quilt on my new Juki and found it to be quite a learning curve.  The quilting foot doesn't seem to lift as high as I'm used to, so I broke three needles on lumpy seams.  I count it as a learning experience, and I'm pleased with the actual finish, so I'm not going to agonize over it.

The quilt is roughly 6' square and currently has no home.  I'm sure I'll find somewhere that needs a donation!

As with all other Saturdays, I'm linking up to Soscrappy for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  Join us, won't you?

I love this quilt so much that I might have to make one myself.

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
