Rainbow Wave Quilt from Busy Hands Quilts
I love color, bright colors, and thus I do love rainbow! Our feature today of Mrs. Hearts from Busy Hands Quilts is so happy and bright!! A darling quilt for her daughters joyful room! :) I think I even have enough solids to make my own...hmmm. Make sure to check out Busy Hands Quilts...she truly is busy!! Almost every post is a finish!
My daughter's newly decorated room. Don't you love the walls?!? The other two walls are blue, which I may show you on another day. That half of the room is ... not ... clean!!! I had originally planned to make a Rainbow Plus Quilt on the top bunk {remember the 60 solids I purchased?}, but when Millie and I found this set at Kohl's for uber cheap, we couldn't pass it up. It matches perfectly!
The bottom quilt is a full-size Wave quilt with 18 different solids, made by yours truly.
It is LOVE ... or what!?!
It turned out truly AMAZING!
The backing is a Riley Blake chevron in apple green and white, and oh, my, this fabric was a charm to work with! WAY nicer than lesser quality flannels from other sources. I washed and dried it once before assembling the quilt since flannel shrinks more than regular cotton fabrics and will shrink again when washed a second time. The quilt top and binding were not preshrunk.
Here is a close-up of the candy binding. YUM!
I quilted across the quilt twice in the colored areas, varying the height of the "swoops" as the wave progressed; and the white has tiny up/down swoops in it which you can't see.
Can you see where the two chevron fabric pieces were joined? It's pretty hard to find it! This high-quality flannel from Riley Blake was printed so perfectly on excellent fabric that the points met amazingly well. I pinned the two pieces together at every zig zag and had no problems whatsoever.
