2025 Rainbow Scrap Challenge (Hidden Seven) Is Finished--post 21

View of the back

The quilting on the 2025 Rainbow Scrap Challege (RSC) is a design with crayons. When I saw the pantograph design, I knew it would be perfect for this project! The crayons are about six inches long by 7/8 inches wide. The design is stitched with green thread so it blends well with the background.  My friend, Tomme, quilted it on her longarm. The quilting is terrific!

I made a label. This one has been hanging around for a long time. I'm gifting this quilt to a kind, generous and supportive couple in the U.K. Ali is a vibrant person and she would like the contrast of all the colors! Maybe when the quilt is gifted, they will allow me to post them with their quilt.

The quilt measurers 60 by 70 inches.

I sewed the binding on the 2025 Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I wrote a lot of posts as I documented my progress with Angela at So Scrappy. In 2024, I wrote the posts as I made the selvage squares. Block Sample (1); Green Selvages (2); Red Selvages (3); Purple Selvages (4); Yellow Selvages (5); Pink Selvages (6); Blue Selvages (7); Aqua Selvages (8); Orange Selvages (9) and Brown Selvages (10).

In 2025, I stitched the color of the selvage square as Angela released the color of the month. I posted my progress: Pink and Blue blocks (11); Yellow blocks (12): Red blocks (13); Green blocks (14); Orange blocks (15); Purple blocks (16); Aqua blocks (17); Green and Orange blocks (18);  Brown and Black blocks (19) and Piecing the back (20). 

Finish

Hmmm. . .after looking back at that list, it reminded me of a Tootsie Pop commercial of a kid asking a wise old owl how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. The owl takes a Tootsie Pop. He counts as he licks.. . One, two, THREE! At that point, he bites the hard candy outside to get to the gooey center. 

My question, though, was how long does it take to make a quilt? Just 21 blog posts. LOL!!!! I added the sleeve and presto. . .a FINISH!!! Thank you, Angela for hosting the RSC. I used up some selvages for this project!

Finishing it was project number 2u on my annual goal list and goal number six on my January list. I used 12 yards of stash to complete this project. Earlier this month, I bought 11 yards of fabric so I have a net loss of 1 yard!
