Ticker Tape Rainbow

I think this is ticker tape doll quilt #5 for me.  Each time, I use a different color scheme, and this time I chose a rainbow in an effort to revisit the joy of this quilt.  I also tried two new techniques, which I will definitely use on #6 and following, if I feel the urge to ticker tape again.

First up, spray basting.  It just makes sense, and it's so easy to do on small quilts.  No pins means easy placement of all those little scraps.  Why didn't I try this sooner?


And speaking of those little scraps, my second tip is to use a glue stick to place them where you want them temporarily.  It washes right out, and again, no pins!
The back is Kona grass, and the binding is Kona lagoon. It finishes at 18 x 23.
