Thanks JNCT14! It is a gorgeous quilt!

Here is a quilt idea that came in my email today. It is from Victoriana Quilt Designs.

Rainbow Crossroads quilt

when I choose colors to use I like to go from the lighter to the darker and gradually go up the value chain. For the border she used going to the rt she went yellow orange red purple blue green. I would always put blue as the dominant color and she used green. To me green is less than most blues. Interesting also to see how she crossed a color like an x or L as in the blues. I would usually try not to repeat more than one color per line. Just me. From a distance it looked like a Kansas Dugout blocks to me but it is all HSTs and squares. Very interesting and a fun way to use up scraps!
