    I need to finish quilting a baby quilt & start quilting my daughters rainbow quilt…if I win I will have to make a couple more, she wants to have a rainbow birthday party this year!

  3. Shayna says

    I've got a stack of blocks I finished yesterday in both of Rashida Coleman-Hale's Cotton+Steel lines (and some Kona Ash) so I'll be squaring and laying out my top. If I'm really lucky I may even have enough time to piece it together!

  5. Diane says

    Honestly, what I'm going to sew next is a little boring… I have to do a ton of repairs and hems on a stack that has been steadily building. After that, I might make a new summer tote! 🙂

    Thanks for putting together this blog hop, I enjoyed seeing all the bloggers' projects! And the book looks great! I just made a test block for a star quilt I saw in a magazine and I think it will be my next new project. Of course, I also have some things underway that I am going to work on as well.

    I have allowed myself to become distracted lately with free motion applique, so must get back to my husband's drunkard's path sofa quilt before our wedding anniversary. It's dark blue, grey, and white. I'll be looking to your book for some color after that.

  12. Gayle with a Y says

    I've so loved following this blog, and I'm a person that tried to never "color outside of the lines", if you know what I mean. So to see the other bloggers takes on some of the projects in your book was inspiring to me to try to come up with my own creative spin on one of the projects. Although I don't know how I could come up with anything better than you have for that FLAME quilt – I am just IN LOVE with it! I do love Giucy Giuce's take, and looks like the perfect table runner to me! As far as my next project, I need to finish hemming four layers (countem' FOUR) of satin and chiffon up about 6 inches on my granddaughters prom dress! I'd love to do anything, including EPP, other than that! LOL! Except I love her dearly, and of course she looks fabulous in the dress.
    Thanks!

    This has been a great blog tour. I loved seeing the different projects made by your bloggers and meeting new people.

    I'm working out a way to do a small wallhanging of zentangle type flower. In my mine it should work….in fabric, we'll see.

  16. Anne D says

    i am finishing a hazel hedgehog cushion and a few smaller runners. The book looks great. Thanks for the chance to win

  21. Katie says

    I've been collecting rainbow inspiration for a while to spark my next quilt. Probably a crib size. The tour has been great!

  22. Anita says

    I will be finishing a mini quilt that I have started. It is in batiks, with a neutral for contrast,
    I have really enjoyed the blog tour and the sneak peek of the projects in the book!

  25. Elizabeth says

    This has been such a satisfying blog-hop. I've met a few new quilters and really enjoyed seeing all these glorious rainbow quilts along the way. I am making improv blocks, rainbow style, in my quest to reduce my overflowing scrap bins. If I get enough, into a quilt they go… then with leftovers (or if I run out of scraps – haha!) placemats and throw pillows. Thanks for everything!

    The book looks wonderful – congratulations!! I'm finishing up some baby gifts but then I plan to make a quilt for my little sister – in a rainbow palette – seeing all the photos from your book has inspired me!

  33. Kathy E. says

    This has been such a fun blog hop. What's more lovely than rainbows?
    My next project is to make a small tote bag for a great friend's grand daughter. I will embroider her name on it and add a pocket on the inside for a library card or a sweet note. I hoping it will be used for library trips to fill up on books!

  34. Pedal Sew Lightly says

    I won't be officially starting anything new until I finish my longer than normal list of WIPs. But when I sit down at my machine tomorrow I will be sewing the sashing on my granny square project.

  35. Laura says

    I've been experimenting with the quick curve ruler from sew kind of wonderful. My next project is to use the curved pieces from this ruler in a modern quilt of my own design.

  36. Kathryn says

    I've loved following along with your blog hop. I've gotten so many ideas. A great idea for a book. I'm currently working on a quilt using a jelly roll. Now that I'm finishing it, I can imagine it using your colorful ideas when I make it again.

  38. Sewgirl says

    I have a rainbow quilt that I am just about to start quilting. This blog hop has been great inspiration! Thanks for sharing the giveaway!

  40. Jennifer says

    This is the year I am challenging myself to make a quilt for each of my 10 neices/nephews for their birthdays. The next birthday is at the end of May & her quilt still needs to be quilted. I better get working!

  42. Mary D says

    I'm working on an original art quilt with circles made from pieces of another quilt. Not sure how it will finish, just in the design stage. Just finished two baby quilts.

  43. Terry says

    I'm happily going to be working on a baby quilt for my dear friend's first grandchild 🙂

    Congratulation on your wonderful book! The Modern Rainbow tour has been wonderful. I luv, luv, luv all the creative rainbows in your book. I would be thrilled to win a copy and learn some of your techniques. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity.

  45. GranChris says

    Great book, I love the color. I must finish the binding on my current quilt then I have to do some charity lap quilts. Have any fresh patterns, ideas? I'm sort of bored with the usual.

  46. Kathy Sue says

    What a great book! I have loved every quilt I've seen pictured – and since my b-bay is tomorrow I have been dropping hints like crazy to my family. Fingers crossed! Congrats to you on a job well done. Thank you. kathleendotlutzatcomcastdotnet

  50. Jayne says

    I have enjoyed seeing each and every rainbow explosion you have shared! Your quilts are amazing and inspiring too! I have several quilts that need to be quilted. I promised myself I would not start another until they were finished!

  51. Elsa says

    It was a lovely blog hop! I love all the quilts in your book and getting started with Lucy in the Sky tomorrow for a presentation at my guild! I just love it and I'm going to make it mini! (don't pick me, I've already got the book!).

  53. Donna W says

    My next project is going to be a new bag for the summer. I have 2 new patterns and I now have to decide which one to make first! Thanks for a chance to win your new book. It looks fantastic.

  57. Marianne says

    Right now I am not sewing anything new but am trying to make a dent in my collection of quilt tops. Finished 5, moving onto number 6!

  58. Margaret says

    I'm trying to finish a few quilts before I start anything new. I have at least three quilt tops finished that I can think of off the top of my head.

  60. Kelly Wilson says

    My next project will be my next project will be a triangle table runner. I haven't tried them yet and have a new ruler to try out. Notwendy gmail

  61. Kate E. says

    I just checked your book out of the library this evening and I love it! So inspiring! My next seeing project is a twin size quilt for my daughter's room. I always have multiple projects going, though. 🙂

  65. giddy99 says

    I'm sewing a Rainbow Puff quilt (it was a special request). I'd love to make a quilt for my hubs, but he has to first decide what he wants. 🙂
