This radiant quilt was requested by a customer. She loves to use hand dyed fabrics in all her quilts. She picked this pattern and asked me to make it leak through the sides. I used EQ8 to figure out color placement. I also made it a little longer than the pattern.
I lined up the sides using a ruler across the tips of one of the rows. Of course I thought of this after I put the first side on by eye balling it.
She requested turquoise thread for this quilt, but usually she like hot pink. I just want to remember what it looks like on top of the non blue color of this quilt. It doesn't stand out in this picture below which always surprises me.

Hi Shannon,
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous fabrics you selected for this quilt - the color gradation is just perfect!! That is so cool how those rows extended into the border. Very clever and it really looks outstanding. I'll bet she is really happy with how it turned out. Your distance shots do not reflect the thread at all - only that closeup. Your quilt holders are doing their usual fabulous job. ~smile~ Roseanne
Fantastic finish and what a fun quilt to sew!
ReplyDeleteThis is really a cool quilt in more ways than one. I just love the colors and that you always give your customers what they want. May I ask what you used for the backing?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt - looks like the promise the rainbow brings! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou make some of the prettiest rainbow quilts!! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I love the 'leaking' and those hand-dyed fabrics are just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteA lovely rainbow of colour and I really like how you designed the border too. I'm guessing you have one very satisfied customer.
ReplyDeleteShe won't get much sleep while using this bright quilt, haha. So pretty, I love how you did the leaking!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Having the rainbow bleed out to the sides is a great idea. I usually think to line things up with rulers after eyeballing the first one or two, too :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rainbow quilt and what a creative way to do the borders! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt. Great colors, and the quilting goes nicely with it, too.
