The 2014 RSC Sampler is now Flame Test, named for a classic elemental analysis test that can produce a rainbow of colors depending up the chemical elements exposed to the flame. The name was Drama Teen's suggestion. I finished sewing on the binding a couple of weeks ago but didn't get photos until this week.
The fabric for the binding came from the scrap pile. This rainbow stripe fabric was used as the backing on a quilt for Drama Teen a few years ago. It was absolutely perfect against the black border.

| Rainbow Scrap Challenge Sampler, By Angela Feldbush of Soscrappy |
I'm really happy with how this project came together. The black border and sashing really makes those brights just glow. Trudy Lindemann did a beautiful job with the quilting. She matched the thread color to the color of the blocks. You may have to blow up the picture to see the color differences between the blue, purple and black.
Drama Teen requested something swirly for the quilting and Trudy nailed it. Speaking of Drama Teen. I'd no more than gotten the pictures of the binding when she grabbed the quilt and put it to use in her favorite spot so far this summer.
It's warmed up a lot this week, but last weekend it was still cool enough in the morning to be covered up a bit. It's nice to know that Flame Test is likely to be just about as well loved as the rainbow quilt that's on her bed.
Thank you Angela for such a fun challenge project. I've been following along with Angela's monthly color choices since 2012. Flame Test is the first RSC quilt that I've finished. There are still three sets of rainbow challenge blocks that need to be set together (not counting this year's Twinkle Star project). One of these days I need to get busy with those. For now, I'm going to go check out all the other rainbow pretties posted over at Soscrappy.

Kate you've done an AweSome job on that quilt! And Trudy's quilting is wonderful. It really sets it off.
That is GORGEOUS! I love the black background on it. You did a wonderful job! I'm looking forward to your other RSC projects.
I love it! You picked some great alterations for your quilt.
WOW! WOW! WOW. I love the label almost as much as the quilt. And the title is truly inspired. Tell DT she nailed it. I am so absolutely impressed. Awesome!
Your rainbow quilt is absolutely fantastic! I love the way you set the blocks, the border design, the rainbow colored binding, and the amazing label. Great job!
It's gorgeous! I never would have thought of black sashing, but it couldn't be more perfect. And you just happened to have the perfect binding fabric? it was meant to be.
Fantastic!!! Powerful, dramatic, elegant, and full of color, including the borders.
And I really like the label. Would love to know more about how you created it.
Beautiful! Love the flying geese in the border!
Congratulations on a terrific finish! That binding fabric is so perfect for this rainbow quilt... and the name and label are amazing too!
Congratulations, Kate; the black sashing and borders set off the bright colours beautifully. I like the chevrons in the border; they make an interesting detail.
This quilt is amazing. I just love it!
Lovely! Congrats on a great finish!
Congratulations on a gorgeous quilt. I see all the seasons of the year flowing through it. Each block is lovely by itself. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.
This quilt is just awesome and I can see why Drama snatched it right up to use. Fantastic finish!!
The quilt is awesome!
Love everything about this quilt...the blocks, the color, the quilting, the name.
I completely understand why Drama Teen grabbed it for herself!
Congratulations on such a pretty quilt that's already well-loved! The label is so much more creative than anything I've ever done with mine:)
Wow, lovely quilt!
LOVE the new header Kate . So colourful and creative.
DT’s quilt is an absolute triumph. Everything about it is perfect – but especially that gorgeous scrappy binding. Way to go on the finish ( and isn’t it lovely that it’s been commandeered so quickly and is being used and loved )
Love the new blog header and that is a spectacular quilt. Got to love it when a quilt is put to use straight away.
