Full Size Rainbow Wave Quilt for My Daughter!
This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!
My daughter's newly decorated room. Don't you love the walls?!? The other two walls are blue, which I may show you on another day. That half of the room is ... not ... clean!!! I had originally planned to make a Rainbow Plus Quilt on the top bunk {remember the 60 solids I purchased?}, but when Millie and I found this set at Kohl's for uber cheap, we couldn't pass it up. It matches perfectly!
The bottom quilt is a full-size Wave quilt with 18 different solids, made by yours truly.
It is LOVE ... or what!?!
It turned out truly AMAZING!
The backing is a Riley Blake chevron in apple green and white, and oh, my, this fabric was a charm to work with! WAY nicer than lesser quality flannels from other sources. I washed and dried it once before assembling the quilt since flannel shrinks more than regular cotton fabrics and will shrink again when washed a second time. The quilt top and binding were not preshrunk.
Here is a close-up of the candy binding. YUM!
I quilted across the quilt twice in the colored areas, varying the height of the "swoops" as the wave progressed; and the white has tiny up/down swoops in it which you can't see.
Can you see where the two chevron fabric pieces were joined? It's pretty hard to find it! This high-quality flannel from Riley Blake was printed so perfectly on excellent fabric that the points met amazingly well. I pinned the two pieces together at every zig zag and had no problems whatsoever.
Quilt Stats:
- Pattern: New Wave by Oh, Fransson!, free
- Size: 75" x 85", full bed size
