A colourful baby quilt

The latest commission to go to its new home is a rainbow quilt for a toddler bed. I had such fun sorting through my scraps to try and achieve a gradient from purple to blue, blue to green and yellow to orange. I used a lot of Kaffe Fassett fabrics left over from last year’s Mystery Quilt (see the “Works in Progress” section as it still hasn’t been quilted!). I also found some lovely ombré fabrics for the sashing and a very bright rainbow fabric for the backing. All of these were sourced from the wonderful Lady Sew and Sew.

I enjoyed quilting this with random wavy lines and stars inside the actual stars which are all constructed in my favourite Oakshott fabrics. Here are some close-ups of some of the blocks.

And finally, the rainbow backing.
