Tiny Tuesday Finished!

I'm excited to share my finish of Tiny Tuesday, the Rainbow Scrap Challenge Sampler for 2019!

Fifty 4.5 inch finished blocks were made between January and October last year in all the colors of the rainbow, and sashed with a gray Grunge.  I added six additional blocks (simple 4 patches) so that I would have 56 blocks for a 7 x 8 layout.

I loved making every block, and want to thank Angela and every one of the guest block designers for generously sharing your ideas and tutorials!


I quilted Tiny Tuesday with a curved cross-hatch, and bound it with a dark red Grunge.  After a trip through the washer and dryer, there is lots of crinkly, cozy texture!


A leftover block worked for a label.


I really love the backing fabric I found through Bernie's shop, Needle and Foot Fine Fabrics.

This truly feels like a quilt made with friends!

Now I think I'll get comfy and read a book!

Such a fabulous finish with all those tiny treacherous blocks. Oh yes, I would keep this one too. This would be like a reference library of block patterns, in addition to being a soft snuggle-worthy quilt.

Your quilt looks fabulous! My older kids claimed my quilt, so it sits on the chair across from my sewing table.
