Rainbow Trip


Rainbow Trip

This is a Trip-Around-The-World pattern.  I was experimenting with the Rainbow colors but keeping it scrappy.  This was a surprise gift for my daughter-in-law Julie, so she can snuggle on the couch with it.

Michelle helped me find the balloon fabric in Olympia for the backing.  The backing was a little short so I put some rainbow batik strips on to bring it to size.  I sneaked in the names of everyone in the family when I did the quilting.  I often put names or words in the quilting and let people discover them.
