Rainbow Quilted Banner

Seeing a rainbow in the sky after a storm is such an amazing sight. The beauty and wonder of the colors and the size of it takes my breath away every time I see it.

This Rainbow Banner was a fun little mini quilt to sew which will be a great addition to any baby girl’s nursery. Soft colors appliquéd onto a background of white gives this little banner a modern feel.
 
For the background as well as the backing, I used Robert Kaufman’s Kona cotton in Pfd White.
For the rainbow I used Robert Kaufman’s Kona Cotton solids in Rose, Mustard, Bluebell and Shell.

I appliquéd each arch onto the white banner using a small zigzag stitch in a matching thread color.

After layering the quilt, I continued the arch theme by echo quilting around the rainbow design. The area below the rainbow was quilted in straight horizontal lines.

I finished the quilt by binding it with a beautiful floral fabric by Poppy Cotton called Meadow in white. I used the same fabric to add a small sleeve to the back for hanging purposes.

Dimensions: 17¼ x 11½ inches
