This year, I decided to do something a bit different for one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts. Each month I made various blocks that represent things found in my garden in the designated color. I love seeing all these fun designs but I have never wanted a whole quilt made with the various block.
So this way, I had the joy of making each block and putting them all together into a fun quilt.
I enjoyed searching the internet for each block design. And many, I simply designed using graph paper and a pencil.
Some of my favorite blocs are the apples, pear and the tomato.
I not only included various fruits, vegetables and flowers, but you can find lots of my garden friends and foes in my quilt.
Even the imperfect bee is busy pollinating my flowers!
I pulled a dotted backing from my stash and added a striped binding from a fabric I have been trying to use for years.
This bright quilt will definitely be appreciated during the winter months when I miss the bounty of color, food and enjoyment I get out of my gardens.
It will keep me cozy as I earmark my seed and gardening catalogs dreaming of spring!
