My second quilt entry into the Fall 2015 Blogger's Quilt Festival over at Amy's Creative Side is one of my favorite Scrap-A-Palooza quilts.
For those of you new to my blog, the Scrap-A-Palooza series is an ongoing event where I share the details of a scrap quilt I am making. All of the quilts are sewn from scraps and are usually really quick and easy. I try and share the main assembly steps along with my thinking behind the choices I make. Sometimes, other quilters join me and I share the quilts they create too.
This fun, scrappy circle quilt is my entry into the ROYGBIV Quilt category.
(You can read the original post here.)
It was made entirely from my scrap bin. Bits of fabric were grouped by color then sewn into offset log cabin blocks. While I shared a few other possible layouts, I settled on these fun dots of color.
I really enjoyed using low volume scraps for the background on this quilt. I am really pleased with how it turned out.
A subtle print for the backing and a golden binding finished it ff nicely.
I played around with swirls and feathers for the quilting. I did all the quilting in a simple white thread.
Using my scraps and playing with color is something I do quite often.
Who doesn't love a Rainbow!
A big thanks to Amy for hosting this event.

I love this rainbow, and definitely enjoyed seeing it again.
What a fun quilt, Barb! Fun to see, fun to use, too, I'm sure! I love the backing you chose.
I have loved this one all along, and I still do!
This is a beautiful quilt. I admired it when it debuted and still like.
Love this quilt and the way the rainbow spatters the canvas. Good choice for the category of the festival too.
So love seeing this quilt again..as you know, since I did it with my own spin on it lol!
You are my Scrap Queen! I love this quilt! ROYGBIV at its finest! Good luck in the festival Cynthia!
...added to my bucket list...again!
Love this pattern! It's a great use of scraps! My small Modern Group just made one, 5'x7', with a black background. I'll post about it in a month or so--one member needs to do the binding.
The Dot layout just takes this to another happy level! Well done, and so so pretty!
Great use of scraps and like the layout.
I love this quilt. You got my vote.
I've always liked these curved log cabins. I usually make a heart, but your circles look wonderful. I voted for you, that's how much I liked it. =)
