A rainbow of progress...

Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt projects are progressing in my sewing room this week!   A leftover from 2021 is getting closer to a finish - the Full Stop sampler.  I'm almost done with the quilting.


There is quite a bit of negative space in this quilt, and I thought it needed more quilting than just the horizontal serpentine stitch, so I've been adding some vertical quilting there as well.
Just a little bit more to do, and then binding!

I've also been slowly hand stitching the Dancing Plus blocks together into sections of four, six, or nine.  Here's where they are at this point.


I'm feeling good about this week's progress!  Sharing at SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday and at Quilting is More Fun than Housework for Oh Scrap!

  7. Beautiful rainbow projects. I love that you did the plus blocks by hand. And isn't that serpentine stitch useful? Enjoy the weekend!

  9. Love the texture that the quilting is adding to the #Fullstop. Seeing the finished tops coming together at the end of the year is always the best part. Those plus blocks might be first on my list for next year.

  14. You did make great progress this week. I love your rainbow dancing plusses! I’ve only ever had my plus blocks dance in color groups (warm, cool), but the rainbow idea is so cheerful! And you’re doing it by hand, so that’s doubly impressive. Go Diann!!

  19. The dancing Plus quilt is so much more interesting with the low volume backgrounds than just using a plain solid. And your hand sewing continues to impress me. Hope your snow has melted. I think we set a record high yesterday.
