Rainbow 4-patch quilt

Completed 11/21/2014

I actually finished this on 11/21 but didn't get to take pictures until today. It's laid out on a king size bed, so obviously it's more of a double to queen size.

Apparently, scrappy colorful quilts on white is my theme for 2014.

I finished a quilt top!  Not the one I intended, but it's still a finish and that counts for a lot!  It'll be queen-sized when complete (it's actually queen-sized now).

This one, I called Scrap Heap, because it was all 5" squares of fabrics.  Originally I was going to do a disappearing 4patch pattern but that is going to a different quilt now.  Therefore I decided to just sew these 4patch blocks together and call it a day.

I asked the kids to arrange the blocks.  SilverLily chose this arrangement, with a rainbow effect across blocks.  It looks really, really nice. :D  As usual with my recent quilts, this one has patches from several other projects, including Hole in the Wall, Dragon's Lair, Tekno Rainbow, and upcoming other projects, as well as stuff I had just lying around.

I actually had 3 blocks left over; we decided to leave out the extra brown ones.  No two blocks use the same fabric.

Things to look for:

- a cow

- a sheep

- a stegosaurus

- cupcakes

- neon rhubarb
