Showcase a spectrum of color with striking quilts that breathe new life into the lucky rainbow. Fourth-generation quilter Rebecca Bryan shares 14 modern quilt patterns that take their cues from the color wheel. Ranging from modern-traditional to improvisational, Bryan's rainbow quilts look stunning in your favorite designer fabrics. You'll play with jewel tones, pastels, and even neons, as you incorporate a modern rainbow into quilting projects. Arrange your fabric in a way that honors nature's prism, or take liberties as you mix in neutrals, substitute related colors, or experiment with intensity. It's like quilting with a fresh box of crayons!
