Rainbow Gems

This quilt was made from the leftover HST that came from Myra's Rainbow Star quilt that I made recently.  I had several HST and plenty of solid fabric left.  Instead of putting any of it in the scrap bin, I used it to make my own design.  

54" x 63"

Each square is a half square triangle and finishes at 9 inches.  I cut some more of my 10 inch solids in half and made a rainbow down the back.   Gotta love rainbow quilts!  It's quilted with gray thread in an easy meander pattern.  I didn't want to distract from the two tone diamonds.
