Like a warm spring shower that coaxes the first blooms of the season, Raindrops is back — and this time, it’s dressed in the most enchanting colorway yet. Originally designed by Bradley and Judy Niemeyer in 2005, this beloved pattern has captivated quilters for decades, and we have a feeling this fresh new look is about to steal hearts all over again.
Like the cover art come to life, this quilt captures all the joy of a rainy day well spent. Featuring fabrics from Free Spirit’s Assorted Tula Pink Collections, this stunning colorway layers lavender, lilac, soft grey, and pops of coral and chartreuse into a dreamy, playful palette that feels like springtime all year long.
The cover sample was pieced by Quiltworx and then handed off to the talented Stacie Spradlin of Seams Divine, who worked her signature graffiti quilting magic across every inch of its generous 70″ x 80″ canvas. The result? An absolute attention-getter that would look exquisite in any room of your home, and yours will too!
This pattern uses foundation paper piecing along with curved piecing and traditional piecing skills to join the units once your foundation piecing is complete. If those techniques feel new to you, you’re in very good company, and you’re in even better hands. Follow along with Judy in a free online demonstration as she walks you through every technique needed to bring this beauty to life. Start from a place of confidence and finish with a quilt you’ll be proud to show off for years to come.
Ready to make a second sample? We’ve got Replacement Papers so you never have to stop at just one. And our full lineup of notions is here to make the journey as smooth as the finished quilt itself — curved rulers for accurate trimming, fabric glue sticks in all varieties, Acorn starch pens for that perfect crisp press, rotary cutters, the beloved Purple Thang for easing fabrics smoothly through your machine, and so much more.
Raindrops may have started in 2005, but this colorway feels like it was made for right now. Don’t let this one pass you by.
