Bloggers quilt festival - Quilt #2

My second quilt entry for the Bloggers quilt festival is my scrappy rainbow.  This quilt came about by my need to do something about the ever growing pile of scraps, the design  was inspired by the missing 'U' quilt in the Sunday morning quilts book.

I went to town on the quilting, channelling my inner Angela Walters and custom quilted each of the rainbow blocks individually.  Using large pebbles on the skinny borders and swirls on the large borders.
