Bottle Rainbow ....Done and ready to Quilt

This was such a fun project and a great scrapbuster. I also learned a lot about colour.  My aim was to use just what I had on hand. I did not want to buy anything. This was a total scrapbuster.  I even used up lots of pieces of batting that had been trimmed from previous quilts.  I did buy fabric to use for backing.  Fabricville had a "Buy 1 Metre get 2 Metres free" sale.  I needed 4 metres for backing. So I got 6 metres for $19.99. Now, to get it quilted. More on that later.

This is the first one I have seen finished, it looks HUGE!!!But GORGEOUS!!!!!!! I wanted to make one, but didn't want to spend the money on the solid fabric for the borders. Trying to use only my stash as much as possible this year.
