RAINBOW SHOWER PATTERN

Hello!

It sounds crazy that I’m releasing another new pattern so soon!

I’m grateful that I had time to create this pattern in such a difficult time. It has been helpful to keep me calm and distracted from things happening in the world.

April showers bring May flowers.

My younger son told me when he saw me working on this quilt. I thought about “HOPE”. I felt like this poem reflects what’s happening in our world right now. Hopefully we can see the flowers someday soon!

Please let me introduce my new pattern RAINBOW SHOWER !!!

I got an inspiration from the rainbow and mist after heavy rain. The sun and blue sky are coming out from the cloud, you feel mist in the air and it reflects the rainbow colors. The images were in my mind but there was no way I could make MIST so I made the drops instead. I’m so excited how this one turned out!!!

This pattern includes three sizes (baby, small throw, large throw), the printable templates and a coloring page. This one is small throw and finishes at 42″x 60″. I used the solid fabrics from Kona Cotton Solid by Robert Kaufman.

Here is the color list that I used for the cover quilt.

This pattern is for advanced beginner. It’s simple curved piecing design but each quarter circle is a bit small to handle. Click here for a tip to piece small curves.

I did straight line quilting. Again I used masking tape instead of marking the lines. It’s my Go To Method officially! It’s just so easy for me to do and love the result!

It’s not only easy to do, also prevent the quilt top to stretch and the backing/ batting to shrink as I machine quilt. I used 1″ width masking tape for this but the painter’s tapes work well too.

Grid quilting for baby quilt. It’s 1.8″ apart… I know it’s strange but the painter’s tape that I had was 1.8″ width… It doesn’t matter! It gave nice texture to this quilt and I love it!
