2019 Rainbow Scrap Challenge Plus Quilt Finished

I have just a few minutes ago put the last stitches in my Plus Quilt, which was my 2019 Rainbow Scrap Challenge project.


It's not the best photo, as taken at 10.30 at night, but I just wanted to share that it is done and dusted!  I'm so happy to have completed the quilt within the year.  Happily, I was able to get the coloured blocks made each month, and then added a few extra blocks at the end to make the quilt larger.

The details of this quilt are:

Inspiration - Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2019 run by Angela at So Scrappy
Design - Plus Quilt - inspiration taken from many quilts on Pinterest
Started - January 2019
Completed - December 2019
Block Size - 10 inches
Finished size - 70 inches x 60 inches
Fabrics - Colours all from my stash, backgrounds taken from a Zen Chic "Modern Backgrounds" charm pack, stash and extra low volume greys collected along the way. (I have a nice little collection now.)
Stitched  - as a leader and ender project.
Backing and binding - tone on tone blue that has been in my stash for many years
Batting - cotton
Quilted by - my friend Val O'Shannesy.

I'm linking up over at So Scrappy.  Pop over and see the other completed projects and works in progress.

Thanks so much to Angela for organising this challenge it has been great fun.

Yes, I will participate again next year, but maybe not creating a quilt.  I may switch it up a bit.  We'll see.

Gorgeous finish! I have a bunch of plus blocks sitting around from an RSC project a couple of years ago. I should put those together. :) Thanks for the inspiration. Your quilt is beautiful. I love the scrappiness of it.

Congratulations on finishing your RSC19 plus quilt. I hadn't thought to use that pattern for an RSC project. Now you have me thinking. I like how those plus quilts look. You did a good job on yours.

Your Plus quilt has turned out beautifully, you must be so pleased with such a wonderful finish. Sewing the blocks as leaders and enders each month certainly worked well for you. It's so nice to have seen all the different colour blocks appear each month on RSC linky party.
