I was reading my favorite blogs recently and ran across Jo's Country Junction - http://www.joscountryjunction.com/ . Jo and her daughter Kelli have recently printed their first quilt book. They have quilts in magazines regularly and everything they do looks great! The new book - Country Girl Modern - includes a quilt called Rainbow Connection. I knew I could do this one without a pattern so I got right to it. Above is a picture of my quilt top. I am going to buy the book when I see it, but I just couldn't wait for the book to make this quilt. I made it totally out of my small scraps. I have been cutting my small scraps into 2 1/2" strips, 2" strips, and 2 1/2" squares. It was easy to pull the colors I needed for the quilt and concentrate on cutting the squares and sewing that part right then. I didn't intend to finish it so quickly but I couldn't seem to stop! Anyway, kudos to Jo and Kelli for a wonderful quilt design. I wish I had thought of it!
