My rainbow-y achievement this week has been finishing up my AURA top. I worked ahead through the rest of
the spectrum.
Two observations:
1. Fabric colors look much different when they are sewn together into a quilt than they do folded and piled on the table -- colorplay was the main reason for doing this project, and I had some unexpected results. I'm rating it a "meh." But I am looking forward to my next bright rainbow-y project.
2. I officially hate paper-piecing.
This was a useful learning project, but I don't like my result as much as I'd hoped I would.

Methinks that comment I see above this is a scam...just thought you'd want to know. And...I wouldn't be the least bit 'meh' about your project because I love the colours!
I think your RSC top looks awesome!! Gotta say, I agree with you about paper piecing. While it has its place, I'm SEW not a big fan!
looks great Jeanne. I LOVE paper piecing but angles are a challenge, there are ways to make them easier and come out right when flipped

Your Aura looks fine! And paper piecing is only sonething i can do in short bursts
What I like about Aura is that it looks three dimensional! Good for you for sticking with it!
I'm with you in the officially hate paper piecing camp!
I’m with you on Paper piecing. Not a fan. This
Paper piecing is so tedius, but it creates BIG results. I totally agree. Fabrics pretty and folded in the bin turn out differently once they land in a project. Happy sewing!
I agree... color is never what it seeks when I picked it. Also, I too am in the anti-paper piecing crowd. I do love the results of paper piecing, but I never cut my fabric large enough or something, so my results are awkward at best.
