For the past year I've been participating in the quilt along organised by Irene of Sugaridoo, and Bernina Sewing Machines.
This month's assignment was to sew the top together, either completely, or in three sections of four rows each, to make quilting easier. Here are my three sections, laid out as they will finally be joined after quilting.
This quilt is enormous! Too big for my camera lens!
Irene gave the instructions for a new row every four weeks, and included reverse appliqué and foundation piecing as well as "ordinary" piecing. As well as the written instructions on the Bernina blog, she also published a YouTube video to reinforce the instructions. I learnt a lot from doing this and my phobia over foundation (paper) piecing is largely dispelled.
Speaking of rainbows: how about this one:
I don't think I've ever seen so complete a rainbow. It continued round to the tree tops off to the left, although it was less well defined on the left hand side. There was also a reversed "shadow" rainbow above; something I had never seen before! Unfortunately it had faded before I could take a photo.

Two beautiful rainbows!
Your rainbow row quilt looks fantastic! I saved all the patterns throughout the year, and now I am wishing I had made one too.
the row quilt is really unique I like it, and that rainbow! wow
It's beautiful! I really like the gray accent on each row - that's cool!
I love your rainbow quilt, well done!
