This week, my sewing machine time has been dedicated to quilting the Rainbow Neighbourhood, and it is moving along! I've quilted the whole center section vertically, which is three of the house blocks, using the serpentine stitch every two inches.
This was early in the week when I was just getting started.
I'll continue with the vertical lines, and then do the same thing horizontally.
So, my scrappy sewing this week has been to hand-piece four more bowtie blocks to add to the collection. These make a really nice evening slow stitching project.
This little group is getting more and more colorful!
And one last fun thing to share. Because I finished my Rainbow Neighbourhood quilt top in time to share for the final link-up, I won a prize - my choice of two PDF patterns from Devoted Quilter's Etsy shop. I decided to choose two that would work for Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects, and here are the ones I got!
Pinwheel Garden
and Scrappy Playground.
Thank you Sandra at mmmquilts and Leanne at Devoted Quilter! These will go on my list for 2024, since I have plenty of projects already in place for 2023.

Congratulations on your Rainbow neighborhood top being chosen as the winner! I like the patterns that you chose and can see them in a future RBSC!
Great patterns for the 2024 RSC! Your bow ties blocks are fun. I need to get busy with my June and July RSC blocks…I was away for the month of June and need to catch up. Gail at the Cozy Quilter
Going through your posts today and I'm so sorry about the loss of your sister-in-law. Sending you hugs. As always, your quilts cheer me up and I think you picked two nice patterns for rainbow quilts. I love the bow tie quilt and can't wait to see the neighborhood quilt finished! Sending hugs and healing prayers...
Perfect pattern choices for RSC!
Congratulations on winning those patterns - they will make beautiful quilts! You have a lot of bowtie blocks - how pretty they look. Can't wait to see how your neighbourhood quilt looks when you're finished. I'm not sure I've noticed those partying penguins before. ;)
Congrats on the pattern win! The Pinwheel Garden is just the cutest. The bowtie quilt is coming along, and just adorable.
always like the bowties
Congrats on the finish and the win! I love your bowtie blocks and by hand!!! Double WOW!
Congratulations on the win! Your hand stitching is amazing. Those blocks look machine stitched.
I always love your pretty bow ties. Congratulations on your win, and the patterns you have chosen will certainly work well with RSC stitching.
Heard on the news tonight that CO is getting hit with severe weather again. I hope you're not in the thick of it. Your bowtie quilt is looking good.

Congrats on your win and I really like those two choices...nice and scrappy. Aren't those bow ties just the prettiest all together like that!
I adore your little red bowtie blocks! It makes me so happy to see your hand pieced quilt blocks... you are one of the rare stitchers carrying on this tradition!
Those little bow tie blocks of yours are just adorable!
Cute bow tie blocks, and what a fun win! Both quilt patterns are great for scrappy quilts!
