3D Rainbow Blocks

This is the first time I have put all the colors of my 3D Folded Box blocks up on the wall together. I have been making these blocks all year as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, and it is so exciting to see the combination of all the different colors together!

My blocks will finish at 9". The squares in the corners of the blocks will finish at 1.5" each, and I am planning to set the blocks together with light background sashing and squares of assorted colors, making nine-patches where they all meet. I have enough blocks to make two smallish throw quilts, or I could use them for one larger quilt and one baby quilt. I don't know if I will add a border or not. I probaby won't have much time to get these put together anytime soon, but it sure is fun to see them all up on the wall!

Be sure to check out all of the wonderful scrappy projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge every Saturday and at Oh Scrap! over at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday. I'm also linking up with Scraptastic Tuesday (several days late!) over at Mrs. Sew and Sow.

    Those are beautiful together! It's fun to see the quilt take shape like that, after seeing these blocks each month in the different colors.

    For some reason, Google won't let me comment this is my 3rd try. Anyway, I LOVE this quilt. The unusual blocks are set off beautifully by your wonderful sashing idea!!

    They look like beautiful jewel boxes now that they are together. You've inspired me again to probably do an RSC17 with them. Congrats on getting them all finished.

    Such fun to see them all up on your design wall!! Definitely a case of "the sum is greater than the parts" where this block is concerned. It went from interesting to INCREDIBLE!!
