Wonky rainbows

DESCRIPTION

Caves for dinosaurs, homes for fairies – the possible stories are endless. And, just what is a rainbow?

It is virtually impossible to make the rainbows symmetrical and identical, so a feature is made of them being “wonky”.

Another quilt for a group of four, designed to stimulate discussion and play.

PLEASE REFER TO THE TECHNICAL INFORMATION BEFORE COMMENCING

Size

45cm x 45cm (all 3 layers cut 47 x 47cm)

Materials

• Plain coloured fabric for top so colours and textures stand out
• Fabric of choice on back
• Thin wadding
• Ric rac, braid, ribbon, elastic, cord – anything and everything

ORDER OF ASSEMBLY

• Assemble the 3 layers.
• Use pins to mark the quilt into four quarters.
• Pin the four biggest arcs in place. I do this by eye (as they are mean to be wonky), keeping them about 2cm from the centre lines. Stitch in place. The “empty” space is for play.
• Pin and stitch the next rows as per sample below. There are five lines not six, as six makes it too crowded.
• Sew a small central motif – not too big, as the “empty” space is for creative play.
• Trim and bind the quilt.
