The oranges are all added and the first of the reds has now been joined to the rainbow. Two more reds, then purples and then the blues. It’s about two feet across at this point at its widest point. I think the rainbow itself is going to end up about 48″ wide.
Thanks to everyone for the ideas on the flannels and the gold Northcott print. I’m thinking that a star of some sort for the Northcott will be the way I go. Now I’m wondering about 9-patch blocks for the flannels. Will have to think on that.
The weather went back to rather chilly on Tuesday and quite damp. We even had to put the heat back on! This is so typical of our weather this time of year.

The work-related stress is still there, but I’m trying to just ignore it at this point. Easier said than done, but it’s a situation over which I have no control so it’s rather pointless to let it upset me to the point I don’t even want to stitch!

Oooo the red is so yummy!!! It is going to be a REALLY BIG rainbow LOL.Crispy

It’s beautiful! Can’t wait to see it all finished. What do you think you’re going to do with it? Will it be big enough for a bed quilt, or is it small enough to be a large wall hanging?

Life can be so upsetting sometimes. And yes! Over things we have no control. Oh the cat toy problem. We have that here too. And dog toes. Our little dog starts crying when he brings the toy and we don’t pay attention. Love the orange. It looks like lovely feathers, soft.

I love how the colors are coming along! Can’t wait to see the next step.I get guilted into picking up feline toys and handing them to the owners. Then they pretend to ignore them.

The rainbow is coming along just wonderfully! Lester looks like he is trying to levitate the cat toy so he doesn’t have to move to get it LOL! Sorry to hear about work stress. Definitely don’t let it get to you too much so you don’t want to sew!!
