If a burst of pure, joyful colour is exactly what your sewing room needs, this free pattern was made for you. Colored Happy lives up to its cheerful name, bringing together a glorious rainbow of solid shades into a bright, modern design that is impossible to look at without smiling. It finishes at a lovely 60" x 60", a perfect square for a throw, a wall hanging or a snuggly lap quilt.
Here is what makes this one such a treat to stitch:
- It is a celebration of solid colour. With a generous palette of nearly forty shades, this design lets pure, unprinted fabric take centre stage, and the result is vibrant, happy and full of life.
- A wonderful way to use small amounts. Because each colour is used in just a small cut, it is a lovely chance to gather lots of shades you adore, or to dip into your solids stash and scraps.
- Cheerful yet beautifully simple. The design looks rich and intricate, but it comes together from straightforward pieces, making it a joyful make rather than a fiddly one.
To make your own, you will want a wide and happy selection of solid colours in small amounts, the more the merrier, plus your usual backing and binding. It is the perfect project for embracing colour with both arms.
