I think they are super great. I can never decide on which colors I like so rainbows are it. My favorite color is rainbow.
Rainbow brite was super cool wasn't she? Gosh, I wanted to be her.
 |
| So wonderfully cool. |
Picasso had a blue phase, this is my rainbow phase.
So I started brainstorming.
 |
| First brainstorm |
 |
| Second brainstorm with Goose modeling her favorite Elsa nightgown. |
 |
| Another idea but I didn't like it. |
 |
| Starting to like it better. I had to buy more fabric (what?) and scrounge and sew more colored pieces to expand the quilt size. I went on a fabric scavenger hunt all over my studio/sewing room. There were all these large pieces of fabric I could use hidden around! I really need to organize. |
 |
| It wasn't a perfect rainbow without orange and purple, so I added some. At Joann's my children found fabrics of their own. Skylander and Frozen respectively that are now some shorts. |
 |
| My son decided he loved this quilt. So I measured the size on his bed. But those navy blue ones really flared out at me and I decided to change them. |
 |
| I was finally happy with the colors. After I completely looked thru my entire stash for more dark blues. And I had to buy some more fabric. ;) |
 |
| No onto the sashing for the border. More rainbow please. |
 |
| And here we have the finished quilt top. It's folded twice to show the whole thing. It's actually the size of a twin quilt. |
 |
| Finished the backing. Which I love piecing. Not only does it save on backing fabric (old sheet and leftover fabric from another quilt) but it's fun! |
 |
| The fabric avalanche in my stash. After going through all my fabrics looking for a bit more that matched the quilt. Oh well. I needed to organize anyway. Or maybe I'll just make another rainbow quilt. Yep, another rainbow quilt. |
