I finally finished up the binding on my Pantone Radiant Orchid Quilt that I am lovingly calling "The Purple Rain." I used the custom dyed fabric from Vickie Welsh for some of my raindrops, the binding and the back. I used Superior King Tut variegated thread for the rain. If I do something like this again the rain quilting will go on first and the raindrops will be appliquéd on afterward. Starting and stopping the quilting for each raindrop was kind of a pain. The quilt is 20" X 23".
I loved making this quilt. The appliqué and the quilting were new techniques.

The third raindrop on the left on the top is from the sample fabric I ordered that is the official "Radiant Orchid".
I have some radiant orchids of my own just starting to bloom.
