I've been itching to make a rainbow version of my Summer Stroll quilt ever since I first released it two years ago. The original quilt was in my Summer Blush fabric range for Riley Blake Designs, which are now long out of print, so it was time to update this pattern with new fabrics. I simply love, love, love the vibrant, gem-like colours in this quilt! The fabrics are Ombre Confetti by V & Co for Moda.
The construction method uses half rectangle triangles (HRTs) - if you look carefully in these WIP pictures that I previously shared on Instagram you can see the units. If you've never sewn with HRTs before don't be afraid - there's nothing to them, and the pattern has clear illustrations showing you how.
The original pattern included only 12 print fabrics (two triangles from each fabric) to minimize waste. I updated the pattern so you can now use 24 fabrics (a different print for each triangle), whilst also keeping fabric waste low. Both options are now included in the pattern so you can choose whichever method you prefer.
Pop over to my shop now to grab your PDF pattern! As an added bonus it's also on sale this week - happy sewing dear friends!
It's a gorgeous quilt Sedef. I'm such a sucker for a rainbow quilt and yours is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anorina, I'm so happy with it too! It will be going out on loan soon but I will be keeping this one once it comes back. Such a cheerful quilt.
