After a couple of weeks of dedicated sewing, I managed to finish up my Heather Ross Rainbow Quilt top last week.
I used a free pattern from Windham that was released with the Briar Rose collection and opted to add four rows of blocks lengthwise and a half block width-wise so that it ended up a little closer to twin-sized. This also allowed me to use more fabrics to better flesh out the rainbow gradation.

This was such a fun project to put together. The fabrics are gorgeous and I really liked the process of setting the blocks on point. It meant that every row was different enough to keep me entertained throughout all that plain vanilla piecing.
I really want to keep the backing pretty simple and found some beautiful Nani Iro double gauze in my stash that will be perfect. Basting this quilt will be my first priority when I wrap up a few more baby/Christmas gifts that have been happening behind the scenes.
I really can't wait to can enjoy the finished quilt. It is just too lovely to spend much time in my WiP pile.
Your quilt top is lovely in the breeze! Some girl will cherish this for sure!
ReplyDeleteso lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out great!
ReplyDeleteDO love this! I saved the pattern to use with my Briar Rose, but I ended up cutting into it over and over again so I'll have to try to find more if I even hope to make one of these. The rust and orchid really help to add depth to the rainbow. I like your variation very much!
ReplyDeleteToo cute!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beauty, but I guess anything with Briar Rose would be beautiful! I love the squares on point like that.
ReplyDeleteI really love this. So simply beautiful.
