I love rainbow quilts - and am currently making a scrap quilt that might qualify. I cut it out in 2003, pieced it (I used the 'snowball' block) in 2008, maybe, and am currently hand-quilting it. I use mostly prints, because that is what is in my scraps. But a pile of solids like your give-away would be amazing! Thanks!

What a great giveaway, thank you! I have been infatuated with rainbow quilts lately. In March, I tested my friend Jess's mystery quilt (thequiltandneedle.com). The quilt uses 2 jelly rolls and I chose a Kona rainbow rolls. It's sooo pretty! I am now working with the leftovers of those rolls, to make some spinning stars. Which you can see on my blog if you want http://mtnmommy2.blogspot.com/ Good luck with Es quilt, you can do it!
