Tropical Rainbow, is an exciting new twist to an old favorite, the New York Beauty arc. Floating spikes, curved piecing, traditional piecing, and Template Layout Sheets are all design elements used to create this quilt for foundation paper piecing. A collection of fabric designed by Island Batik were used to make the samples on the box cover. The fabrics that were selected to make our quilts are typically the latest lines of fabrics that are supplied by a variety of fabric companies. Fabric companies design new fabric lines on a cycle of approximately every six months and at that time, they discontinue many of the previous lines. As a result, upon publication of our patterns, the same fabrics we use in our quilts on the cover most likely will not be available, unless a shop purchased the fabrics prior to publication, specifically to make fabric kits available for our quilts. However, choosing your own fabrics to make one of our quilts can be very simple. For example, the quilts on the cover were made using fifteen (15) bright fabrics and fifteen (15) dark fabrics.
