Some quilts take longer to finish than others. Life happens and in our case, we move. We move a lot. Brandon's job transfers us around Iowa & Minnesota every year or two - it's mostly fun but results in so many unfinished projects. In boxes. So many boxes.
Maybe it's just me, but I find these unfinished projects weigh me down. I feel guilty not finishing them - some projects I still love and some I just don't love anymore. Maybe it was Marie Kondo on Netflix or the motivation of a New Year, but kicking 2019 off with a #FINISHIT2019 list of ALL (okay, mostly all) my projects has been a GAME CHANGER. Mapping out how close each project is to being done and creating a pretty visual has been such the motivator. I just love putting an "X" in those pretty rainbow boxes.
Three and a half years, three moves, and one wedding. That's exactly how long this Rainbow Picnic Quilt took to complete. Crazy, right?! It's a simple quilt using 10" precut squares in every color of the rainbow and I can't wait to use it this summer. At the park for a picnic or an afternoon at the pool with Harper - it's going to be perfect.
I quilted it using my BERNINA Q24 Longarm and a simple, all over loop design. Find our entire list of available quilting designs and everything you need to know about our Professional Quilting Services right here.

ReplyDeleteI appreciate that you're dreaming of summer while snow is on the ground. Lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple quilt but very stunning with the rainbow gradation. I also really like the black and white binding.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and in my wishful thinking, I thought the snow was sand.
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog today. What a cheerful finish! My own Rainbow Picnic is sitting under my longarm (where it's been for more than a year) awaiting binding. One of these days...
