Basket of Rainbows, made and quilted by Diane Melde
Diane Melde says that she bought this quilt kit in 2020 (during Covid)... but that it looked a lot simpler than it turned out to be! "Beautiful, but lots of curved paper piecing and overlapping machine applique made it a challenge."
This quilt uses Batik Textiles “Rainbow Sherbet” fabric collection with brightly saturated colors on a colorful dotted white background that really makes each fabric pop. Diane did a beautiful job with the piecing, applique, and quilting.
The project is based on a published design called Basket of Rainbows by Certified Instructor Kelly Grant
using components of Judy Niemeyer at Quiltworx. (As of
this writing the quilt kit can be found at Creekside Quilts.
