Color Me Rainbow – raw edge applique quilt pattern

December 12, 2014 9 Comments

I am happy to share with you “Color Me Rainbow” – my newest quilt and pattern.
Quilt size: 25” x 25”
Center design: 20” diameter

Isn’t fun that a fabric rosette inspired this pattern?

I love making small quilts- not too much fabric needed, only a few hours to put the top together and best of all, so easy to quilt! And did I mentioned the wonderful technique that is fusible raw edge applique?

I think this is one of my favorite quilt.

It’s not only the beautiful fabric –  Fossil Fern by Benartex.

I love the quilting on the rainbow design…

But I love even more the quilting on the background.

It was a last minute idea!

There is a very narrow space between the colored pieces- less than 1/4”.

It’s very easy to quilt feathers on these narrow pieces. I tried to quilt as close to the edges as possible, as the edges were not stitched down during the applique stage. It’s only quilting, no zig zag stitches on the edges. And these pictures were taken after washing.

I paired the Aurifil 50wt thread with a Jeans Needle and quilting over fusible web appliques was an enjoyable experience and the quilting looks so beautiful.

I love, love this little quilt, and the other one in the series- Color Me Hexy!

    These are both brilliant! I love the interpretation you made from the real-life fabric display. What a great idea! And that feather quilting is just amazing!!!

    Geta, you are truly sensational. In my dreams, I could never sew something so precise and sharp. You are not only super talented in sewing, but also in design. I am awed by your work. Thank you for sharing.

    I love that you were inspired by fabric fanned out in a circle. Inspiration truly is all around us isn't it? How wonderful that you take your vision and make it into art for all of us to enjoy. Beautiful!!!

    Very cool that this design was inspired by a fabric rosette. It looks difficult. I have yet to try a feather design with machine quilting.

    I’m thrilled to have stumbled across your website. As a long-time sewer, I
    thought quilting would be almost the same. WRONG in so many ways!!!
    I have learned so much from the
    information you have generously shared. Many, many thanks
