    Question Help please with this quilt

    I will be blessed with a grand-daughter next yr and my dil sent me a picture of a quilt she would like me to make.
    She wants a rainbow quilt similar to the photo she has found.

    How would you go about making the wide bias strips shown in this photo that make up the rainbow?
    I would love your input on how you would proceed. Many thanks for your help.

    I'm not sure I'd make wide bias strips. I think I would simply cut out and applique the pieces. It's really pretty!

    I would not make wide bias strips, not sure if they would lay flat. I would ask her where she saw this, in my opinion it doesn't look like a rainbow. Perhaps you can find rainbow quilt patterns on line and send her those photos.

    The pattern is at https://www.etsy.com/listing/1092158...ttern-beginner , but you have to click on the images to find the finished size of the quilt is 42"x52" with the rainbow block finishing at 42"x25"

    Tracy at The Sewing Channel, made a video on YouTube, exactly like the picture. If you can watch the video.. lots of help for you I'm sure.
