Rainbow Bright

Cross another UFO (unfinished object) off the list. One of my goals for the year is to get a lot of projects I’ve started actually completed. This is one such project. 

I saw one that Angela Walters quilted just like this on Robert Kaufman’s website and I immediately knew I wanted to make it. One jellyroll of Kona Solid – bright and a jellyroll of white and wa-la…easy peasy. The pattern is free on the Robert Kaufman site. 
I loved the way Angela quilted hers and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to practice a lot of different free-motion stitches. I’m kinda digging it! 
After the boys are all snug and sleeping in their beds at night, I have been dedicating about 1 and 1/2 hours to sewing personal stuff. It’s a good feeling to actually be finishing some projects. I have been on a roll lately and have a couple more finishes to show you, so stay tuned. It’s been kinda rainy and wet here and it makes for bad outdoor picture taking, but as soon as it dries up out there there will be some more show and tell.

    I absolutely love this, and I may just steal the idea. I’ve never done a true rainbow quilt, but I always think they look fantastic. Moreover, I’ve been pushing myself to do more free motion quilting and this is an excellent way to do a sampler quilt.
