The pattern is from here and the coloring is sort of from here. I did less of a rainbow pattern, and the inside pluses are a different color. I'm not completely sure why I did that.
It is bright and colorful for the little baby though. When I stopped over to give it to her parents, they both noticed that there was a music score in the inside pluses. They both, separately, said, "I wonder if I can tell what the music is." However, it is well quilted and in small squares, so they were not able to figure it out.
I quilted something different in each color family. I just did whatever I felt like, using thread that was about the same color as the fabric. Oranges got a double orange peel and greens got back and forth.
Pinks got a double loop.
Blues have a wood grain.
Yellow has sea foam.
Purple has squares and rectangles.
And last, but not least, the background has pluses.
It was a fun quilt. It isn't my new favorite, as newly finished quilts often are, but I did enjoy picking out all the different fabrics and different quilting patterns.
Linking up with Finish It Up Friday.
It may not be your favorite, but I love how you did the "color family quilting". That was a really good idea!
ReplyDeleteI think you quilting in each color is a wonderful idea. I looks amazing. I just finished a plus quilt from a different pattern in solids. It is at the quilters now. I can't wait to get it back so I can finish it for a special great nephew. Yours is fun and I may try that pattern in the future.
