Rainbow lasagne quilt

I just had to try one. It went together so fast that it would have been finished but that I had to run out to get the black batik for a border. I wasn't crazy about it without the border. It is only 20 - 2 1/2" strips (plus 2 1/2" border) and finished out at 35 by 55...perfect for sitting in the recliner on a winter day with a good book.

It's really pretty...almost looks like a picture in the way you layered it.

I have to confess that I did not arrange the colors...they came to me in this order from Favorite Fabrics. I loved the colors as they were and only resize them to the size I wanted. Here is where I got them. http://www.favoritefabric.com/cgi/co...n&key=JS20-001

I have nothing to do with this shop, but they did give awesome service.

Wow! A little color arrangement can make this very simple design look spectacular. Makes me want to dig in my stash and see what I can arrange. Thanks for sharing.

It's beautiful Sunnie! My mouth is watering now! I don't know if it is from looking at your quilt, or the fact that I saw the word lasagna!?!?!? Just call me Garfield! Kudos!

Gorgeous quilt!

carslo 06-30-2012 06:40 AM

I really like it with the darker border it makes the quilt pop and finishes your work like a matted picture in a frame.

cleodaisy 06-30-2012 08:35 AM

Beautiful!!! Yours is the second one I have seen with a black border. When I make mine I will have to go shopping too. Oh, what a fate - going to a quilt store. LOL

very lovely color choices

kathdavis 06-30-2012 08:57 AM

Awesome colors and love the border. I think the border added a lot to it.

homecaregiver 06-30-2012 09:20 AM

great job, I have several jelly rolls I am going to make up into lap quilts and I hope they go quickly.

I named it rainbow based on the order of the colors.

Is this done like a jelly roll 1600 race? if nothow do you offset and if so what order do you sew the colours in at the start? So when you fold you end up with that graduation from top to bottom.
I have been teaching all day and my brain won't work anymore!

Thanks Becks

Beautiful quilt. I love the colors. I wondered what size a quilt would be with only 20 strips. Thank you for sharing.

Becks, I started like the jelly roll race, but once all the strips were joined I cut them into 33" pieces (I just chose a random number that would give me joined section in the second row). Then I sewed them in "color" order as you see in the finished top. Hope that makes sense.

katkat1946 06-30-2012 09:43 AM

Beautiful results!!

Heather Hayllar 06-30-2012 09:43 AM

Yummy! Can I come to dinner at your house, please?

katz_n_kwiltz 06-30-2012 09:48 AM

Thanks that does make perfect sense. The maths of working out the placement the other way was killing my head!
