Saturday shenanigans

This morning I finished a little something that I started Thursday evening on a whim.  This is often how I do things - an idea pops into my head about 11:45pm just as I am thinking about going to bed.  Instead of going to bed like a normal person, I start creating whatever it is in my imagination.  The next day or so I work on it some more.  Usually these whim projects end up as WiP's.  Not this one!

This is what I had to get out of my system - a ticker tape 'thing'.  It isn't a 'square' mini quilt so I guess I'll call it a wall hanging.  A ticker tape rainbow wall hanging.

My new ticker tape wall hanging keeping Mr Toyota,
my Zakka message board and my painting company.

This wall hanging has been made using 100% scraps from my scrap pile!  You know those itty bitty bits that I just can't throw away - now on my ticker tape!  ...some of them anyways!  ;)  The grey is leftover from the backing of my Vintage Holiday quilt and so is the wadding!  I added hanging corners at the top so I -- or a secret swap partner -- can hang it up but I think I like it too much to give away!! 

The three layers + scraps (does that make it 4 layers?) were quilted all at once using my free-motion foot.  To hold the scraps in place so I could outline them in thread, I used a tiny bit of gluestick.  I left it overnight so they were held in place and it did the trick nicely!!

Those who know me know that I don't go for fabric rainbows.  I love all the colours IN a rainbow individually or in threes maybe, but not all together.  This project is now my third rainbowy thing in a matter of weeks - my Scrapy Stash Log Cabin quilt [work in progress], my Paramouthy Stitches Tote for Di and now this! 

Dimensions:  6.75" wide x 24.5" long

 Saturday shenanigans for sure!
