#rainbow quilt

The texture. The colors. The memories. I don't think there's a single thing I dislike about this quilt.

This quilt is made of ~2500 1" hexagons using the English Paper Piecing method. The fabrics have been collected across my years of crafting. Some are from my mom. Some are from the very first quilt I made when I was 11. I hand sewed every single hexagon together and then, because I'm completely batty, I hand quilted the echo lines that hold the layers together.

I've worked on this quilt for 23 months. In those stitches are memories I will never forget. This quilt has seen me through my wedding, the death of two grandparents, two miscarriages, one ectopic pregnancy, the loss of my childhood dog, the acquiring of my second dog, half of the COVID pandemic, and 7.5 months of my current pregnancy. To say this is priceless would be an understatement. I hope everyone enjoys looking at it as much as I do, and also can find healing and happiness through their art.

The rainbow quilt top is finished!!! It still needs ironing, but look at it!!! I’m so happy with how it turned out

Just the sewing (and the ironing in between rounds of sewing) took about 7 and a half hours, and that’s not counting the initial ironing and cutting out all the triangles, or the time it took to arrange them in this pattern

A Quilt

This is my own pattern, but I believe in releasing these things into the wild, so I'm gonna tell you how to make it.

The original is a crib/baby quilt, so it was envisioned to be 40"x40", which means each square is 8" plus seam allowance. Feel free to do your own quilt math and make it bigger or smaller. If you want like a 50x50 lap quilt, you could add a thicker border around the edge. I don't care. It's your quilt.

Here's a diagram that shows the squares:

There are five types of squares that get repeated.

For type 1, I cut a circle out of the focal material and basically glued it down using an iron-on applique product. Many of these have names like "Heat and Bond." Ask the old ladies at your quilt store if you're not sure which one to get. After I appliqued it, I stitched around the circle with a thread in a pretty color using a zigzag stitch. Because the stitching does take up the fabric a bit, you may want to cut this square a little big (like...9" instead of 8.5") and then trim it if you need to. You will need five circle blocks.

For type 2, I did these as two flying geese, because there are ways to make a lot of flying geese pretty easily. You could also do it as four half-square triangles, or an orange square on point and just sew on the corners. I don't care. I don't think one way is inherently superior, although depending on your fabric, maybe you want fewer seams. Or maybe more seams is easier for you. You will need four blocks like this.

For type 3, you have four half-square triangles (HSTs): one orange/yellow, two light green/yellow, and one dark green/dark blue. Since there are four of these blocks, that works out to four orange/yellow, eight light green/yellow, and four dark green/dark blue. (Damn it, that's math. I wasn't gonna do that.)

Blocks 4a and 4b are mirror images. Each one contains a square of light blue, a square of dark blue, a dark green/light blue HST, and a light blue/light purple HST. Be careful when you assemble these--it is easy to get confused, especially if you don't especially like rotating shapes in your head or whatever. You need four of each (so eight total with these colors).

Block 5 is essentially the same: one light blue square, one light purple square, and two light blue/light purple HSTs. You need four of these.

I put on a dark purple border. If I'd done better math, I would have made it bigger, but whatever.

Tips: Iron everything at every stage. I press my seams to the side rather than open. Spray starch if you have to. Quilt it in the way that makes you the happiest. Bind it with either more dark purple (if you have enough, I didn't) or black (if you have enough, I didn't), or both in some kind of random arrangement (ding).

That's it. Easy, right?

This 53″ x 46″ quilt was made for the 2023 Brooklyn Quilts! show put on by the Brooklyn Quilters Guild. It was completed in February 2023. It is mostly machine pieced with hand-appliqued triangles sewn on the borders. The middle panel is quilted with roses and the borders are quilted with leaves. The binding is a rainbow patchwork made with the same fabrics as the triangles. Over the last year…

This quilt went through a couple of changes because I wasn’t careful when piecing - but I still like it! And I am happy to say the quilt top is done!

Finished the latest baby quilt. I really like the quilting on this one, tried paper piecing for the first time (okay, not my favourite technique but I love some of the aninal patterns and will try them) and learned that rainbow quilts are nice on photos but at least this one for me is too much. And it isn't even all that easy sorting the colours.

Anyway, liked making the quilt, liked the quilt but have no problem gifting it 😀

The quilted progress pride pillowcase is finished! Finally used all those fancy decorative stitches my sewing machine has. They are indeed very decorative. First time actually finishing a quilt and being happy with it. Yes, it's a little bubbly and wonky, but I don't care. Because it's a pillowcase, nobody would notice if it were all perfectly neat. The filling is a cobbled together bunch of floof from all the pillows my dog has torn up in the past. Don't worry, she won't get this one.

Based on my own pattern, which is in turn based on the progress pride flag design by Valentino Vecchietti.

I have already been planning projects for after surgery and I picked up fabric for my sister-in-law/bestie’s quilt. I’m going to be doing rainbow skulls with solid black and rainbow. It’s going to be done in a coffin English paper piecing style- I’m so excited for it!

Below is an example image (from Pinterest) of what I am planning!
