Rainbow Spindle Free Quilt Pattern by Christine Stainbrook
Rainbow Spindle places thirty pieced spool blocks in six rows, changing their orientation and fabric combinations across the quilt. Small corner triangles shape the spool ends, while background strips frame the central fabric rectangles. A narrow inner border separates the blocks from an outer border of colored rectangles and corner squares. Featuring the Daisy Dots specialty collection, this intermediate quilt finishes at 50 by 58 inches and repeats the spool construction in a varied arrangement.
