hum a few bars with me...
i've been piecing the railroad crumb rectangles this year for RSC22, to join the other RR crumbs from RSC16 (?). part of my hold up, and not getting any further on this particular project was my uncertainty on how i would want to assemble the top when i had enough blocks. most of the quilts i've seen using the crumb/strip rectangles are made with trapezoidy-shaped blocks, and i definitely want to stick with rectangles. (call me lazy or algebraically challenged...)
seems i'm just as forgetful as i ever was... (i should read my own blog more often; ha!) i remembered this week that i had intended to use Amanda Jean's (Crazy Mom Quilts) June QAL pattern for this Rainbow Rails quilt.
after a lightbulb of an idea went off in my head, and a brief but colorful design session with EQ5, here's what i came up with. i'm very happy with this layout, and even have some black fabric (from my stash!) in mind.
so now that i've got a clear design direction, i feel excited about this project again. although i LOVE the rainbow effect from corner to corner in my EQ layout, i've a feeling that the rows will be more determined by how many of each of the colors i have available to work with, rather than rainbow order.

That's a great design! Another fun way to use crumb blocks!
What a fun design! Having a clear vision makes it so much easier to move forward.
I like what you and EQ5 came up with! What a great use of crumb block! Excited to see how it goes!
lovely crumb blocks - I get stuck at decisions often
Hi,
Awesome quilt...it will be beautiful when
finished. Have a great day!
Looking forward to seeing this design come to fruition. Fun PINK scrap sewing!
Great idea! Going to make a sweet quilt. Keeping it easy mathematically is the formula to actually getting it done!
