Suggestions for rainbow fabrics
I've attached a photo of a quilt made with rainbow houndstooth strips in 7 different colors. I have all the strips,........but
The instructions say to sew them as shown, and I'd like something a little more interesting. What could be done with the placement to make it more eclectic?
thanks,
Renate

Here is a top I made at retreat, still not quilted. After the rows are sewn together you cut sections off the sides and insert a contrasting strip. The blog I got the pattern from used a jelly roll, I just used fabric from my stash. I don't have the blog bookmarked so can't tell you the name or the designer at the moment.
I think your fabrics might look good in this design too.[ATTACH=CONFIG]555541[/ATTACH]
Here is a blog with a similar design but wasn't the one I used. http://cluckclucksew.com/2012/07/tut...aby-quilt.html
