Pretty Rainbow

My cousin had a little girl last week, and as a little present I decided on a quilt... I saw this rainbow fat quarter in Hobby Craft and I fell in love! So much so, I'm not sure I'll want to part with the quilt when it's done LOL!  Who wouldn't want a pretty rainbow to cheer them up every day?

Fabric squares

I've cut 96 squares, and I've now got to sew them all together. The backing fabric will be pink (for a girl of course!) and white bias binding. My first quilt, I'm so excited!  And not forgetting all the other cool stuff:

(1) I've had an e-mail about my extra bobbin case. As I have a Brother sewing machine it will not do shirring so I have to get an extra bobbin case to adjust the tension and be able to do it! I will get to have my cute top after all!
(2) Free coffee cup album at twopeas
(3) Free eBook at Ella Publishing
(4) Gossiping with Kelly Ann about hairstyles for the wedding (She's doing my hair and nails for me), scrapbooking, sewing and the colour GREEN :)  I have got to make her a little something from my left over green fabric :)
(5) Loooong weekend! I'm going to do some MAJOR spring cleaning, and I'm completely into Martha Stewart right now, she is just my idol at the moment :) I have a lever arch folder where I'm gathering things from Martha Stewart's website and putting in the folder for safe keeping and easy referal later!
