🎯 Skill level
Beginner + Summer Shower is built from Layer Cake squares and straightforward piecing, with a few simple techniques to make those wonderfully weird raindrop shapes. The optional highlights are just that—optional—so you can keep things simple or make your raindrops extra splashy with a few extra seams.
👉 Basically, it's a rainstorm. But a cute one. And everybody stays cozy.
💡 Why this kit
True Colors brings the rainbow, while Ghost Droplettes in Whisper gives it somewhere to land. The dove-gray background keeps the rainbow palette soft and dreamy, and those little Off-White highlights turn the raindrops a bit 3D.
This kit keeps it simple:
- One Layer Cake does the colorful work
- A soft dove-gray background lets the colors pop
- Optional highlights add the wet-look magic
- Everything is coordinated, including a full spool of Aurifil
