A while back I got a bound book of fabric swatches... for free. The colors were all in rainbow order. It was so neat... but useless and silly to display.
So I cut that book of fabric up into quilt blocks. I arranged the colors chromatically from white in one corner to black at the opposite corner... rainbow order from top to bottom.
I pieced it all together...
and then I sent it away to be quilted.
And I forgot about it.
Fast forward several months... I got a package.
It was magic.
My quilt came back! I finished the edges and stitched my name on it (which felt a little like cheating since I sent it out to be quilted).
Oh, I love it! My girls love it too. It is the new favorite cozy thing. Unfortunately it is small... like a lap blanket.
Too bad it isn't big enough for our bed... someday I'll get that ambitious!
