I started this mini with the purpose to r
emake my
original Refracted quilt with the feedback I received from Quilt Con. And I am happy to say that I am so loving it!!! Seriously, this one is going to be hard to mail off to
my partner :) Each of those little refracted rainbows are 2 1/2" finished. So cute and tiny :)
For the back, I added the remaining 2 rainbows and framed them up. I will be writing on them for a label but didn't want my partner to know yet :) I used my favorite text print from Mama Said Sew for the backing fabric!! I mean, what could be more perfect for a mini quilt back than definitions of quilting terms :)
And a close up on the quilting. I wanted to give a look of the rainbows extending, like they do out of a prism :) I am super happy with how it turned out. And I love the way the color threads pop on the black sashing!
In the end, I love the Remake as much as the original!! Love it when that happens :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I was just wondering about this yesterday (I DL'd the tutorial for the original). I love the original Refracted,too! I thought it was perfect. :)
that quilt looks awesome, I loooooove the rainbow quilting!
ReplyDeleteThis is a winner! So gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I like the way you quilted it with the various colors of thread.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty mini quilt. I love rainbow colors and your quilt showed them off beautifully. Love the quilting lines too.
ReplyDeleteLooks so very pretty. I love how the colors pop off the black.
ReplyDeleteI really like this one. Are you going to redo the tutorial? Enquiring minds want to know........
ReplyDeleteHI Marjorie,
DeleteI didn't take any pictures as I hadn't planned to rewrite as it is the same process. Sorry. You can use the other tutorial, just start with 5" squares, stack up the 6 rainbow colors, and then cut 5 lines instead of 4 into the squares. Sewing the blocks is the exact same, just on a smaller scale. Then frame them up and sash them as you desire. Hope that helps :)
wow! all that work and you're not even keeping it!! gosh... lucky recipient!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWay cute Melissa! Lucky recipient!
ReplyDeleteMelissa this is just adorable! Great job, love it! Keep creating!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt turned out great! I followed the story of the other one and I think it is very good that you did push yourself to make a totally different one. Beautiful quilting too.
