However you realize me… I like a very good rainbow quilt (try a current Steep Rock quilt right here).
I wished to proceed exploring my creativity in a enjoyable and vibrant manner, which is how I ended up making this retro-inspired, rainbow Falcon Ridge quilt!
To make this Falcon Ridge rainbow model, the material necessities are just a little bit completely different from the unique sample… so, I wished to ensure you had all the main points to make your individual!

Beneath is a take a look at the material necessities or you may obtain a PDF copy right here.
This sample is made up of two completely different blocks, the stripes/ridges and the mountain blocks. No adjustments should be made to the mountain blocks, you’ll make these as instructed within the sample.
Within the unique design (proven beneath), all of the striped blocks are made up of the identical 6 materials. Nonetheless, as you may see, the rainbow model makes use of two completely different, alternating striped blocks. I went with a cool-toned block and a warm-toned block!

I wished it to seem like waves on the blue/cool-toned colors and like a dawn or sundown on the warmer-toned colors!
