The Rainbow Strip-N-Flip twin quilt is finished! She is so very sweet and adorable. We'd love to keep this quilt, but this one has another home.
Picture overload! I love them all!
My customer chose wool batting because they live in Alaska. I plan to use wool in future quilts for us. It has a higher loft, is so cozy, and is still machine wash/dry. The quilting is more visible with wool batting than it is with cotton because of the higher loft.
I love the whimsy the dots add.
On a twin bed, the white and some of the rainbow will hang over the sides. I like the rainbow running clear to the top and bottom of the quilt.
Rainbow confetti dot backing is a perfect match.

This is a great pattern - so easy and fun to do. I like that you made it bigger with some extra fabric. The rainbow colors are gorgeous, too!
ReplyDeleteNice job making quick work of the quilting. That binding is really near, I love the idea of a verigated binding on this colorful quilt!

ReplyDeleteI love your customer's choice of colors. Those oranges are spectacular (actually, the whole spectrum of colors is fantastic).

What an awesome rainbow quilt! I love the colorplay!
ReplyDeleteWow! I really like this quilt. The colors are fantastic and I like the way you did the strips. Your customer is sure to love it! I haven't tried wool batting yet but would love to give it a try sometime. Thanks for linking up to MCM!
ReplyDeleteThe colors! Love them.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and cheerful. I love the poof quality of the wool batting. I have a Singer 15-91. She's pegged at a 1953 model. She lives in a cabinet and my Juki gets to take trips on my Grace frame. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFor the love of rainbows!! It is gorgeous!! Thank you for linking up with me at Monday Makers!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is FANTASTIC! I would never have thought of cutting the strips into chunks and then adding the inset fabric to widen the entire quilt - it's brilliant, and it looks great - especially with the varied width of the insets. I don't think you could have found a more perfect backing, either - your customer must be THRILLED!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so great because your color gradations are masterful. I like the simple quilting, too. That keeps the focus on your wonderful colors.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy!
