Rainbow Mountain Quilt Project Celebrates the Artist in Every Child
Seven Mixed-Media Quilts Create a Community Rainbow
One rainy September morning, Rainbow Mountain mom and fiber artist Jacqui Fehl woke up with a “big idea.†One that took last year’s Rainbow quilt project and multiplied it by seven.
“I wanted this year’s quilt project to be even bolder,†Jacqui shares. “I wanted to create a series of quilts that would include every child’s artwork and highlight our diverse and incredibly talented children and families.â€
The seven mixed-media quilts are currently on display in the school’s multi-purpose room. Each quilt associates a particular grade level with a specific hue. When hung together, a rainbow emerges that reflects the artistic contributions of the entire school community from preschoolers through eighth graders, teachers and grandparents.
