My entry for the fall blogger's festival is my Rainbow queen 'strip and flip' quilt, which I am entering into the ROYGBIV (colour wheel) quilt category.
I used a Kona classics roll up and Architextures Crosshatch and was roughly (read badly) following the Cluck Cluck Sew strip and flip tute.
Sticking with the simple theme, I quilted wavy lines with #Aurifil in variegated greys (#4670) with my walking foot, which gives the quilt a really lovely texture.
I admit to being a little addicted to the ubiquitous Ikea numbers print, but it suited this quilt so well, it was a must for the backing.
This quilt wasn't suppose to be for me, but I just couldn't give it up in the end. I did promise my kidlet a superhero quilt instead though ;-)
Binding - Architextures crosshatch in black.
Backing - Ikea Britten Nummer
Quilting -Wonky wavy lines using Aurifil 50wt variegated in grey (4670)
Size - Approx 52" * 69"
