Raindrops and Rainbows Free Quilt Pattern by Marsha Evans Moore
Description:
Raindrops and Rainbows alternates cloud applique blocks with pieced patchwork in a 48.25 x 57-inch quilt. Marsha Evans Moore designed the project for Maria Carluccio’s Rain or Shine collection. Large and small clouds occupy separate background blocks, and the pattern supports either turned-edge or fusible applique. Narrow sashing with contrasting corner squares separates the block rows. Three surrounding borders complete the layout, including a wider printed border between two narrower ones.

Raindrops and Rainbows Free Quilt Pattern by Marsha Evans Moore quilt pattern summary
- Print the cloud templates at 100% and prepare the shapes for the chosen applique method. Position and stitch them onto their background blocks, then remove the excess background behind them as directed.
- Sew the marked corner squares onto the print squares, trim and press them. Join the resulting units in pairs and then into the two illustrated patchwork block arrangements.
- Alternate the cloud and patchwork blocks with narrow sashing to make the two row types. Join the block rows and sashing rows, then add all three border rounds.
- Layer the quilt top with batting and backing, baste and quilt as desired. Finish with Fabric J binding.
