Hi All, I have been super nervous about making a quilt (always felt like I couldn’t make it perfect enough) but decided to give it ago and I am so proud of myself for doing it. This quilt is actually part of a baby shower gift for a friend who is having her rainbow baby so I thought this was a cute way to celebrate it without doing a traditional rainbow shape. I am just so excited I had to share it!!
It’s beautiful, great job! No quilt is ever perfect, hope you’ve got the confidence now to make more.
It is beautiful!
Gorgeous! Great job! Quilting makes me nervous too but this is amazing!
It is so beautiful, the quilt, the gift, and your effort too. Love the colours & all the little dots. Great work!
You’re obviously a natural quilter, because this turned out gorgeous! It’s a wonderful gift for your friend and a clever way of incorporating a rainbow! I also really love the black with white binding and the white with black backing - great scale of the prints and a wonderful contrast with the colors on the front.
It looks so great! Congratulations on your first quilt! It’ll be treasured!
You should check out the quiltalong craftalong for loads of encouragement and ideas!
Quilts are so intimidating! You concurred it by making an absolutely beautiful one. All your lines look so perfect. I am sure your friend LOVED this gift. So personal and sweet. Love the polka-dotted fabrics too. You should be super proud and showing this off to everyone!
You did an awesome job! It’s beautiful.
Congrats! Your colorful quilt is one of this week’s featured projects!
Your quilt is adorable!
Wow. You did such a great job picking out the fabrics! The rainbow is subtle but gorgeous! I love the binding and the back too. You’re a sewing wizard. The anxiety about making a quilt perfect enough and square enough is a fear of mine too. Maybe you’ve motivated me to start working on a project I’ve had the supplies for for years? I hope so. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing!
It is gorgeous!
And it looks pretty perfect to me, so you don’t have to worry about that anymore.
I’d be pleased as punch to receive this!!
this is gorgeous!
I love the modern colors as well as the high contrast back and binding! Great job and a very thoughtful gift. It will be cherished for years!
Thank you! And I already have three more quilts in the work (all the quilts tops done- just have to do the quilting part)
Thank you! I also liked the contrast of the black and white helps make it be more dramatic!
I have actually had a look at the quilting craftalong- it looks very interesting but also a bit overwhelming
Oh no, don’t feel overwhelmed by the quilt along … nothing is a requirement, well except to have fun and enjoy the banter that breaks out sometimes
