Rainbow Connection Pillow

February 26, 2017 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 5 Comments

Rainbow Connection Pillow ePattern by A Spoonful of Sugar on Etsy and my Pattern Shop

If you follow us on instagram, you will have seen some progress shots of our Rainbow Connection Pillow over the past days. This is our newest pattern and was so much fun to sew! I love how colourful it is with each block showcasing a different colour. It was fun to sort through my fabric scraps to find fabrics in each colour. It is a great scrap buster project! I combined floral prints, polka dots, ginghams, stripes, and small scale retro prints; with a bunch of volume fabric scraps. The contrast between the bright colours and the low volume fabrics, really makes the colours pop.

The pattern consists of nine pineapple blocks that are foundation paper pieced. Each block measures just 5 inches square when finished, so the foundation piecing ensures accurate results.

I made each block in a different colour, mixed with some low volume fabric scraps. You could change the look of the pillow completely by changing your fabric selection.

The 10 page ePattern comes with plenty of photos and the foundation paper piecing template (ready to print in both A4 and Letter size) that you need for the block construction.

The Rainbow Connection Pillow is finished with a zipper and measures 18 x 18 inches. It’s colourful appearance makes it perfect for a children’s bedroom or playroom, although a different colour choice could change the look completely.

    Oh Lisa this is so beautiful and have just bought it from Craftsy. You introduced me to a new world with the Heart of the Home pattern and am looking forward to having a go at this one…….maybe a bit more challenging? Thank you for your wonderful work.

      Thanks for your sweet message Jenny! This is slightly more advanced than the Heart of the Home but if you have a basic understanding of foundation piecing you will be fine. Hope you enjoy making the project. Happy sewing.
