Autumn Reflections Lap Quilt

I won a set of fat 1/8's last year when I entered a lot of my bags in the Bag It 2017 linky from Elm Street Quilts. The fabric line was called Autumn Reflections and I thought that was a good name for this quilt. I made this quilt in a square version in bright colors several months ago. I gave this lap quilt to Mr. P. It is backed with soft flannel.
The quilt pattern is called Native Rainbow and is from the book, Batik Beauties. I used all the fat 1/8's except the ones that read as a solid. I used fabric I already had for the triangles, 2 borders and binding.


I just quilted it with straight line quilting.

Sage green flannel backing.

Rainbow Quilt

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 used a soft flannel on the back of the quilt.

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.
