Rainbow Burst Quilt in Pastels!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


Rainbow Burst is an easy rainbow quilt pattern, and strip piecing makes it go together so quickly.  So it's quick and easy!

The quilt pattern includes 5 sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.  It looks great with bright colors, too.  Check out one with black background right here and one with a gray background right here.

I have curated pastel Rainbow Burst quilt kits from my stash.  All fabrics are Kona Cotton Solids, a quilt-shop quality cotton.  The quilt kits do not include the quilt pattern since so many of you already have it.  :)

The Rainbow Burst quilt kits are available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Rainbow Burst Throw Quilt in Moda Grunge with Black!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


Today I'm sharing a Rainbow Burst quilt in Moda Grunge with a black background.  Rainbow Burst is the newest quilt pattern in the Busy Hands Quilts pattern line.  It's super fast, fun, and oh so rainbow-y!

The Rainbow Burst quilt pattern is in the Busy Hands Quilts pattern shop.



Rainbow Burst Quilt Pattern


The Rainbow Burst quilt pattern is a fun and fast quilt pattern.  It goes together easily in an afternoon or two, for the Throw size.  The design is strip pieced for super quick and accurate piecing.

The quilt pattern includes 5 sizes, so there is a size for every occasion.

Inside the quilt pattern are the names of the Moda Grunge fabrics used in this quilt.


Fabric Selection


This quilt is made with Moda Grunge Seeing Spots, and the fabric names used are included inside the quilt pattern.  

Pastels and medium colors also work great for Rainbow Burst, along with a white background, as shown below.

Quilt kits made with Kona Cotton Pastels are available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.




Wide Back Fabric and Longarm Quilting


This quilt is backed with Widescreen in Black, available in The Wide Back Shop at Busy Hands Quilts.  This is one of my go-to backings, so it's usually in stock in the shop.

The digital quilting designed used in this quilt is Diagonal Bias Plaid in black thread, finished on my HandiQuilter Fusion with ProStitcher.  It's a simple design which is the perfect finishing touch for modern quilts.


zzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Rainbow Burst quilt pattern includes 5 sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.  All quilt sizes are made with 14 fabrics - a light and dark in 7 colorways - plus a background fabric.

Rainbow Burst Throw Quilt in Moda Grunge with Gray!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


Today there is a brand-new quilt pattern in the shop!  Meet Rainbow Burst!  

There are a few quilt kits available in the shop, too!

This is a fun rainbow that bursts across the quilt top.  It's strip pieced for a quick and easy finish, and the Throw size uses 1/4-yard cuts - easy peasy!

The quilt pattern includes all of the sizes from Baby to King.

The Rainbow Burst quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


Rainbow Burst Quilt Pattern


I'm excited to add Rainbow Burst to my pattern line since I love rainbows so much.  They are just so happy!  ♥  

The Rainbow Burst quilt pattern is written in color from head to toe, so fabric placement is very easy to see.  If you don't have a color printer, purchasing the Printed pattern may be a better option for you.

Rainbow Burst is a quick and easy quilt pattern that you can probably sew up in an afternoon or two.  It's really that quick.  :)  

This stash-friendly quilt pattern is beginner friendly, if you have a couple of quilts under your belt.



Fabric Selection - Moda Grunge


This quilt is made with Moda Grunge fabrics.  The colors are Seeing Spots, and the background is a regular Grunge fabric.  The exact colors used in this quilt are included inside of the quilt pattern.

All of the quilt sizes are made with 14 different colors - a light and dark in 7 colorways - plus a background fabric.  It could be any shade of gray, black, or white.

You may already have fabrics that will work in your stash - especially if you collect solids or fabrics that read as solids. 


Longarm Quilting


The quilting design on this Rainbow Burst quilt is Diagonal Bias Plaid, one of my favorite go-to designs for modern quilts.  It was quilted in gray thread on my HandiQuilter Fusion with ProStitcher.


All of the Quilt Sizes


The Rainbow Burst quilt pattern includes all of the quilt sizes from Baby to King.  Block sizes vary in the different sizes.  I enjoy figuring out all of the math to make designs like this work in all of the quilt sizes.  You'll need a light and dark of each of seven colorways in the following lengths of fabric.

Baby Size  41" x 50  5"

Throw Size  55" x 76"  1/4 yard  (shown here)

Twin Bed Size  70" x 89"  3/8 yard

Queen Bed Size  97" x 102"  5/8 yard

King Bed Size  108" x 109"  3/4 yard



Quilt Kits in Kona Cotton Solids!


I have curated a few quilt kits from my extensive stash of Kona Cotton Solids.  There are both bright and pastel quilt kits available.  The bright kits have the option of black or medium gray background, and the pastel kits have a white background fabric.  You'll find them all right here.



Wide Back Fabric


I love to use wide back fabric whenever possible since it saves both time and money.  This quilt is backed with Widescreen in Gray by Robert Kaufman, which I stock in The Wide Back Shop right here.  We always give you a minimum of 4" extra on wide backs in case they need squared up.






The Rainbow Burst quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.
