I've completed my "Everything's Coming Up Rainbows" mini quilt just in time for my For the Love of Solids swap partner! She really hoped for something with rainbows. I was happy to oblige and play around with this combo again (I went rainbow in my "99 Bright Flying Geese on the Wall" doll quilt too), but this time just in solids. The quilt is made of a combo of 20 different solids in a rainbow of colors, paired up with borders of white and Kona ash. I couldn't resist going rainbow on the back as well. But I did choose to keep the binding more simple with deep purple and shot of cerise. For the bonus item, I made a tanagram fabric puzzle. I first saw the link to Beauty All Around's tanagram-esque fabric puzzle tutorial in a mosaic on the long thread, and I knew I had to give it a try! I made my pieces just a bit bigger though (they finish out at 4" square) and chose to topstitch around all of the edges instead of hand-stitching the openings. There are 42 of them after all! I think they'll provide a bit of fun for my partner (and maybe a small little someone else in her house). I also made a matching pouch. The pouch is made from a strip of rainbow scraps and grey linen and features a lime green lining. I figure my partner can use it for the puzzle pieces, or whatever else she wishes! (I have a rainbow zip pouch in a similar size that holds a small notebook and Cooper's crayons.) All in all, this was a super fun swap to participate in! Everything I've seen in the For the Love of Solids flickr pool is amazing. It's fun to think about what might be coming my way!
