This year on the Quilters Playcation Adventure Sew Along, Cheryl Arkison is designing 49 rainbow blocks! This is a free block of the week and you can play along every Tuesday at 2 PM Mountain Time on Cheryl’s Instagram @cheryl_arkison.

As much as I like a good full spectrum rainbow, I decided to do something calmer as there are 49 blocks in this project. That’s a lot of rainbows. So I decided to use green and yellow analogous colors with shades of grey.

I also purchased a pastel rainbow stack of fat quarters so that I can add the occasion unexpected pop of a different color.

My background is white. I cut my initial background block at 10 inches, smaller than what Cheryl did, because my fabrics are all fat quarters and I wanted to stretch them out as long as I can. I think it’s likely I’ll run out of fabric at some point and will need to decide to purchase more, or stop and add alternate blocks. I think a floral block might look great with all these rainbows.

It’s all play and definitely an adventure. We’ll see what happens over the course of the year! @qpadventuresewalong @quiltersplaycation
