Choose fabric that looks like raindrops for the border to complete the theme. Polka dots for the inner border are like raindrops on the window! Make the wall hanging with four umbrella’s or a mini using one block. For the single wall hanging cut the background of the block a little shorter and add a piece of fabric with flowers along the bottom. Now you have a ‘Spring showers May flowers quilt! Use sweet fabric for the border like a little girl in a raincoat dancing in the rain.

Finish the umbrellas by adding rick around the edges or even a bit of lace. Squiggly rick rack for the umbrella handle is a quick and easy finish and adds a little extra character. Hang the umbrella quilt from an iron curtain rail to display at your entrance.
