I have seen this beautiful, elegant quilt pattern on the net with its fluffy pattern with circles of colors. It had my attention everytime I saw it on Facebook or Instagram people sharing their own work with different color variations. Finally the time came that I decided to give it a try.
In my patchworld, everyday I learn new things, new patterns. I like challanging myself by practising and updating my skills and knowledge of quilting and patchwork.
Dancing ribbons quilt is well known and practised by many quilters. And it is my turn now. My plans for this beautiful dancing ribbon quilt is to turn it a wall hanging and use it in my seven year old son's room who is in love with the colors of rainbow.
I chose to work with many different colors for this dancing ribbon quilt. You can choose colors as you prefer, proper to your house decoration.
Dancing ribbons quilt design belongs to Cindy Round Richards. You can reach the free pattern HERE.
Dancing ribbons quilt is done by foundation paper piecing method. The instructions and patterns are shared in the link. The first thing to do is to print out the pattern and and decide your colors. At first it seemed complicated to me and I started by noting down my color choices that matches with the ones in the pattern. Since it is important to sew the colors according to the instructions. Below you can see my color choices.
Every piece has a different color combination, so you need to pay attention to the order you sew them. For background color I preferred to use only white fabric. Once I figured out how to make it, I started sewing. Below is the first piece of dancing ribbon quilt.
The center is combined of eighteen pieces which are made seperately. It was fun to sew these. It is like solving a puzzle and you wait curiously what kind of thing will come out.
When I finished piecing the eighteen pieces, I sewed them together.
The next step is to remove the papers behind and then sew the edge pieces, which will turn it to a square. Removing all the tiny pieces of paper behind is a kind of burden.
Finally I appliqued the center square by hand and it's finished. It still needs quiltibg, though. I like this dancing ribbon mini quilt so much. You shouls also give it a try.
