Bottled Rainbows: ticker tape quilt-along

At long last, it's time to do something fabulous with all your teeny tiny scraps! Please join me in a leisurely quilt-along inspired by my bottled rainbows. Each week we'll make just one rectangle ticker tape block. Soon we'll be ready to piece and finish this baby. Take a look!

You'll start wherever you like on the rainbow, making use of your scraps at hand. Have lots of red, but no teal? Worry not my dears. You can put off your harder colors in favor of something more plentiful. Months from now I bet you'll find yourself some volunteers if your scraps are as proliferous as mine! Ooh, and for really pesky colors, we just may have to organize a scrappy swap! You let me know, K?

You know you want to! How else are you ever gonna enjoy all those scraps? If you've never tickered before, I have to tell you that it's a completely user-friendly technique. You simple cut scraps to size and sew them down on your background fabric. That's it. Technically, this is "applique" but without any kind of precision. This is the same way I made my Mosaic Tree block!
