Rainbow Quilt by Rosemary

Yes, customers really do bring me quilts this gorgeous to quilt. This "Rainbow"quilt is a pattern from the book "Totally Tubular Quilts" by Rita Hutchens and was made by Rosemary.

I can totally understand why Rosemary was drawn to this pattern, it is so colourful, but when it comes to quilting it where do you start?  The colourful design was so striking that it was important not to detract from it, so we used a digital pantograph "Modern Wave" by Anita Shackleford, which added a continuous dynamic wave across the whole quilt and used an Isacord 3355 navy thread for the stitching.

It's great to have a job where you have to work with such colourful quilts.
