Scrappy Rainbow Quilt-a-long: Week 5

I used a light gray Kona solid for the sashing (not sure of the name because it was in my stash already) and I'm so pleased with the results.

I think the light gray really makes all the color pop.

I used a standard 1/4" seam when sashing.  If you are making one exactly like mine, here are the cuts:

• Cut 15 pieces that measure 3" x 12" for in between the blocks
• Cut 4 pieces that measure 3" x 58" to seperate the rows
• Cut 2 pieces that measure 3" x 72" for the sides
• Cut 2 pieces that measure 3" x 60" for the top and bottom

I had plans to have this quilted for me by a local woman who helped me when I was quilting for the new book.  But she is booked up for the next few weeks.  ;(

I'm thinking diagonal straight line quilting using blue painters tape since I'm going to end up doing it myself?

Either way, I'll be quilting it over the weekend.  I can't wait to see the final results!  :)
