September Rainbow Ripples OMG Complete
For our September OMG or one monthly goal project, we chose to complete the Rainbow Ripples (free pattern available in link) quilt top. We are very thankful that Patty at Elm Street Quilts hosts a linkup party each month. Her monthly linkup has inspired us to finish over 24 projects that may or may not have been completed without it! Rainbow Ripples came very, very close to becoming a UFO and stashed away in a closet.
September OMG Rainbow Project
After getting discouraged and being unhappy with the quilting patterns I had chosen and tried, Sue talked some sense into me. These are the two designs I tried and that we ripped out.
Sue had wanted the wavy look with the ruler all along, and I finally saw the light and acquiesced. The look on the sample practice sandwich turned out okay . . . so Rainbow Ripples finally had a quilting design I could get behind.
September Ripples Complete
Since the September OMG is to quilt and bind the Rainbow Ripples quilt top, we have another successful month!
I washed and dried the quilt once the binding was complete. Addison helped me pull it out of the drier. Just as soon as I placed it on the floor for a photo, she crawled right on it! I’d say it was Addison approved. ~smile~
Is there anything better than a baby in her jammies reaching out to touch the colors in a quilt? Well, yes, I suppose there are better things . . . but none spring to mind at this moment. Needless to say, I scooped her up and read her that Shapes book featuring Abbie from Sesame Street. Finally, here’s one last shot of the finished quilt, sans baby.
Our other Linky Parties can be found by clicking the link above or along the sidebar on our website for more quilting fun – check out what our friends are up to. Like/follow us on our Facebook page and you can share your photos of what you’re working on. We would love to see them!
Quilting has made me a fan of rainbows. You can never really sew too many of them — am I right? Congratulations on this lovely and colorful finish!
That wavy line quilting is just perfect on this fun bright quilt. Addison approved indeed!
This turned out so amazing and beautiful! I love the rainbow colors and that sweet baby just makes me want to run and cuddle my own Monkey Boys.
Gorgeous!! Love how it turned out and the quilting is perfect! Baby is toooo cute too 🙂 xx
Rainbow Ripples is gorgeous! Yay for another finish!
Too cute!! and of course -t he baby totally makes the quilt!!
How adorable!! Yes, every beautiful quilt looks even more amazing with a baby on top — talk about quilt embellishment? :-). Great job with this one. The ripples quilting are a fun complement to the rainbow design.
It completed perfectly! The quilting looks good, and I like that binding – backing, too. She is so adorable with her wispy baby hair and her purple footie jammies.
Oh what a pretty quilt and little one really loves it!
The quilt is so wonderful and the baby makes the photo! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish.
There’s no better praise than that! Baby approved for sure. Cute as can be!!
It turned out great, I love it. You know you have done your job well when baby approves. Glad you went with wave. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
Your rainbow colors are awesome! The ripples accent your quilt perfectly.
Roseanne, your Rainbow Ripples quilt is lovely and what a great picture of Addison showing her approval! Congrats on another monthly goal finish ♥♥
Congratulations! it looks great!
So pretty Addison and what a lovely bonus to get such interest from Addison. I like all the quilting you tried even the bits you unpicked! But the ripples do look great.
Cute, cute, cute! And Addison approved — I love it!
Love, Love, Love that quilt and with Addison as your model. What a wonderful job you did! And I think you had fun with it too.
It’s perfect – Addison approved!
It turned out just right!
This quilt is so lovely. Very nicely done! I am so amazed at you and Sue’s productivity. I wish I was HALF as disciplined as you are at getting things FINISHED! I love starting new projects but I realize that this is becoming a problem and I need to finish something one of these days.
That turned out so cute! I love how you changed colors, and they’re so bright and cheerful too!
Rainbow Ripples is beautiful – I love those ripples of color! The quilting you chose is perfect for it, too. Of course, it is Addison approved!
I would say this quilt is a big hit! Addison loves it and that’s all that matters! Love the quilting you ended up with. It’s hard to know the right design to go with sometimes. I’m just sorry you had to rip out the first attempts!
I am so glad you persevered and got it finished. How adorable that Addison crawled right on it and gave her stamp of approval.
Oh it turned out wonderfully Roseanne and Sue! And Addison of course! What a fun design and the ripples quilting is the perfect motif.
