Modern Rainbow Quilt

By: Lynn Browne from Yarnspirations and Coats & Clark
Modern Rainbow Quilt

"This modern quilt is created in a combination of rainbow-colored batiks and different quilting fabrics. Continuing the rainbow theme, a variety of thread colors were used for hand quilting. The quilt is machine pieced, then accented with lines of hand quilting selected from the wide range of colors of Coats & Clark Dual Duty Plus Hand Quilting Thread. The octagon shape lends itself to a wall hanging or a fun table topper. Your choice, your quilt, your colors! Have fun and be creative! "
