Rainbow Spice

Welcome to my stop on the Sunflower Spice blog hop!  Sunflower Spice is a signature collection for Jennifer of Curlicue Creations by Island Batik/Lumin Fabrics.  The bright colors in this collection are so fun, and perfect for bright summer days!  I really wanted to emphasize the rainbow in the collection, so my design is color order.

 

I used thirteen fabrics from Sunflower Spice and will use a fourteenth for the binding.  I had a rough spring and wasn't able to get this quilted, but I have a really lovely fabric with red ginko leaves for the binding.  I really love the motifs in this collection: sunflowers, oak leaves, acorns, and ginko leaves.  The background fabric is a neutral called Flour.

 

I cut everything with my Accuquilt.  I love sawtooth stars and combined them with square-in-a-square units as accents.  I think of them like jewels among the stars!

 

I named it Rianbow Spice.  Rainbow Spice is currently 58" x 70". I might still add a skinny border of background before I quilt it.
