Sewing: Rainbow pencil rollup, for my sister

I used the pattern in Joelle Hoverson’s “Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts,” which in turn came from Pink Chalk Studio, for this one. It came out well, despite my utter inability to sew in a straight line.

The rainbow interior piece is sewn from stash scraps arranged in color order; the exterior is sewn from remnants of our living room curtains. Those curtain scraps have really served me well. I quilted it according to her recommendation (up, down, one continuous snaking line) and boy howdy, what a smart way to do it.
