This cheery quilt will brighten any gray rainy day! You won't get wet under these gay umbrellas!
The original quilt shown in the rocker is a well-loved crib quilt, circa 1950s, discovered in an antique shop. The hanging quilt is an adaptation of the vintage quilt. The umbrella bands in the original quilt were pieced. In the adaptation, each umbrella band is single piece for easier piecing.
Fabric possibilities are endless--it's the perfect scrap-basket project and great for brights, batiks, or 30s-style prints.
Well-illustrated directions, include tips for successful curved piecing and full-size templates to trace.

I am a published sewing and quilting author with several books and many magazine articles to my credit. My most recent books are The Quilting Answer Book and The Sewing Answer Book, both published by Storey Publishing. I learned to sew from my grandmothers, great grandmother, and my Mom when I was just 7 or 8 years old. I've been sewing ever since. I added quilting to my repertoire in the 1980s and worked for a major quilt book publisher as the Editor-in-Chief for 5 years. Now I have my own business, designing quilts and tote bags and anything else that strikes my fancy. I loved taking a recent mixed media class online and had fun letting my "little girl" play with art materials. Of course, I'm using fabric in my "art."
