Throwback Thursday: Rainbow Paint Can Quilt

Hi I am Anne Boundy from Said With Love and I wanted to tell you a bit more about my Rainbow Paint Can quilt pattern published in Make Modern Issue 22 for Throwback Thursday.

Like the left-handed screw driver or the can of elbow grease, rainbow paint has been searched for high and low by gullible apprentices throughout the years! Now they can finally find one!

This is a totally double-sided quilt that looks like a can of rainbow paint with the various colours dripping out over the edge (complete with grey binding around three edges which makes the paint can).

The construction method took me a while to create as it is not done in the usual way… it is lots more fun!

The inspiration for this pattern came from watching our laundry renovation and the cans of paint sitting around the house….. those luscious drips down the side of the can that I could just imagine in rainbow colours.

This pattern is also a wonderful opportunity to play with lots of different coloured threads in your quilting…. I raided my Aurifil stash and each coloured ‘drip’ is quilted with a coordinating thread colour.

Have fun making your Rainbow Paint Can! And check the blog tomorrow for some more fun modern jelly roll quilts.
