With the arrival of summer and more sunny days, rainbows are seen more often whenever rain comes to cool down the heat, and both are very welcome! Rain cleans and refreshes the atmosphere, feeds all living things and replenishes water bodies, while few natural phenomena can match the visual beauty and magical aura of a rainbow. Have you seen any rainbows yet this year?
Designer Chong-a Hwang strikes us as a rainbow lover, judging by her late creations for fabric brand Timeless Treasures. Today we bring you a free sewing pattern by Osie Lebowitz, a truly multicolor show of a quilt featuring some of Hwang’s rainbow and flower designs.
Check the pictures below for a good look at the finished quilt, measuring 101.6cm x 147.3cm. If you happen to like rainbow colored designs, make sure to check out the rainbow fabrics available in our kawaii shop! 😉
This free sewing pattern uses a central flowery panel, doubly framed inside out: first by a set of gorgeous rainbow strips, then by hydrangea flowers on a white frame. You can choose any backing of your choice for the quilt, but we would suggest using some neutral solid shade of white, cream, baby blue or any similar light solid color fabrics 😉
If you feel inspired by color, and decide to try this wondrous free sewing project, please do send us pictures of your finished quilt. We would love to see and share them! Good luck with your sewing!
How gorgeous is this quilt??
