Beginning the rainbow quilt

I have put the star flowers aside a few days as I have gotten enthusiastic about a rainbow quilt. After spending a bit of time on Pinterest researching I had chosen a zig zag style when I had an about face and went with something totally plain.

I would still like to do the zig zag, but I'm thinking only two contrasting colours repeated.

For the rainbow quilt I have gone with simple graduating stripes. First I cut the rectangles into 6 inch blocks, but realised they were too chunky.


So then I recut them all down to 3 inches wide. Looks heaps better.


I have stitched up the first column and packed the rest up till tomorrow so the kids don't destroy it in the morning.
