Rainchino Rails
Don’t worry, I did not just “whip up” a new quilt over the weekend. 
Believe it or not, this quilt has been in the works since February! It was all the way back then when Tacha from Fat Quarterly emailed me to ask if I wanted to write some tips on sewing with double gauze for their July issue on working with alternative fabric, as well as maybe come up with a new pattern. I love Fat Quarterly so, of course I said yes right away!
This quilt uses various Echino fabrics, from linen to double gauze. The name “Rainchino Rails” comes from a combination of “Echino” and “Rainbow”. Looking back six months ago, it was so dreary and snowy and cold, I am not surprised I came up with such a colorful quilt top.
The back of the quilt uses various left over fabric from the front as well as Kona Cerise. LOVE that color. I also used it for the binding. The quilting is straight lines, 1/4″ on each side of the vertical seams. The final size of the quilt is 70″ x 78″.
You can find the complete pattern for this quilt as well as many others in Issue 6 of Fat Quarterly. I just received my copy over the weekend and it is amazing. This quilt in particular will probably end up in my shop.

I love this. It is so bright and beautiful. I’m always a sucker for anything sashed in white.
It is really pretty Faith. I love the bright colors and such a cute pattern!
I love the fun prints in this quilt, I bet it is super soft and cuddly!

Thanks for sharing this. It’s beautiful! Love the pink backing. A great winter project!
How beautiful! The colors just make the quilt. Love the Cerise on the back.
I didn’t even know echino came in double gauze. I’m using it in a quilt top right now – it’s interesting too see another design using the fabrics I’m working with.
I love this quilt; brights sashed with white looks so fresh and inviting. Are you considering making an “e-pattern” and selling it on etsy?

i was looking for inspiration for and Echino quilt and found yours after a google search. Its lovely. Would you be able to tell me if i could make your pattern work with 10in squares of fabric, cut into strips like yours. I would buy the Fat Quarterly issue if i knew that 10in lengths would be workable. thanks
I am so in love with this quilt! I love both the front and back equally! Honestly seeing this makes me want to quilt instead of go to bes, which is where I was headed. So so pretty!
I just LOVE this Quilt! The background color is perfect and love the design! Really well done!
