This quilt is called
Native Rainbow and it's from the book entitled,
Batik Beauties by Laurie J. Shifrin. I just call mine
Rainbow (although I threw in some brown). It is an easy quilt to make with just squares and rectangles. I made this one using all scraps for the blocks. I had a nice stripe fabric for the border that worked well with this.
I think my friend Susan will like this quilt because she attracted to quilts with boxy blocks, right Susan? You can make either a square quilt like this one or a rectangle quilt. I also made a rectangle quilt in this pattern using fall colors for a lap quilt for Mr. P. I will be posting that one soon. Has a different look in the fall colors.

| I had a long arm quilter quilt this quilt using an umbrella quilt design with raindrops. Unfortunately, you really cannot see the pretty quilt design very well on most of the quilt. I love this umbrella quilt design and may need to make another quilt to let the design of the quilting show through more. |

Rainbows are fun, and scrappy patchworked rainbows make for a lovely happy quilt! I love how you echoed the on point block placement, in the borders - nice touch!
ReplyDeleteI love this. Rainbow colours are always a mood lifter; the umbrella quilting - with rainbow thread! - is too cool (and yes, too bad it's not more obviously seen) and I like the way the main pattern "intrudes" into the border. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty quilt, Daryl. You had some nice scraps to use for this. Love the umbrella quilting, perfect for a Rainbow :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about a rainbow quilt, such a fun way to use some scraps.
ReplyDeleteI DO like that one! What a great pattern! Fun colors too. Good job, Daryl!
ReplyDeleteNeat quilt. It's a pretty pattern and I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI like your outside the box rainbow colors. It must feel great to make an entire quilt from your scrap bins. Cute backing fabric.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea to use a rainbow color combination, it looks fantastic. i like the brown in their as well. This is a fun pattern. I think the umbrella quilting pattern is a great choice and looks good. i think it shows up more than you think if your looking at in person.
