A rainbow quilt

I do love rainbow quilts.  It also seems as though I like HSTs. I love solid quilts.  And so, I put them together.

The hard part with this quilt was that I didn't know if it was going to be for a boy or a girl.  So I removed red and purple from the rainbow...even though the center does look a bit red, it's just a darker orange.  Then I found out that the baby was a girl, so I added a purple border.

The Kona colors are: coral, carrot, sunny, highlight, sour apple, clover, bluegrass, jade green, cyan, neon blue (by Riley Blake), Mediterranean, riviera, and windsor.  I was using my scraps, so some of the outside strips have multiple colors in them.

I quilted it with arcs.  This is the first time I felt very happy using a ruler.  I taped off the line on the ruler that I was supposed to line up with the bottom of the row and then quilted an arc of the circle ruler.  I didn't try to use the whole circle, and I think that is what made the difference.  It wasn't fast, but it wasn't slow either.

Backed with minky, bound in sateen, and given to the baby.
