We were asked to make solid rainbow blocks using Bonnie Hunter's Strip Twist pattern. As an option, Nicole/@saphre1964 designed a foundation paper-pieced version of the block, which is what I made.
Jessica sewed the blocks into a top, and quilting was done by Kela/@quilterssquare, who added a beautiful layer to the rainbow twists, don't you think? The quilt finished at 76" x 80" and once again, it amazed me how blocks from a wide mix of people came together to make a really beautiful whole.
Word is, Paul has received the quilt, and I just hope he can find some comfort and healing in it. As the makers post, you can see more at #fortheloveofpaulquilt.
It's an absolutely beautiful quilt and I'm sure he will love the gift and thought behind it.

ReplyDeleteThat border and binding really set off the bright colors of the blocks. It looks beautiful! It's a very thoughtful and touching gift.
ReplyDeleteI just saw about his diagnosis. I'm glad he received a quilt made with so much love and care and that it brings him comfort.
ReplyDeleteThis will bring some much needed light to a dark situation. I was very grateful to have been a part of this.
ReplyDeleteOh that is a stunning quilt - full of love. I know it will comfort him
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and generous effort on everyone’s part! The quilt is gorgeous! On first glance, I thought it was “Postcards from Sweden,” but I see how these blocks are very different from Postcards. You’re right that the different solids blocks came together beautifully. I’m glad Paul has it now, and I hope he finds comfort from it. You guys did great!
