I made this rainbow baby quilt a few years ago - all the rainbow stripes are 1/2 square triangles, the background I cut strips to make the length I needed - basically just made it as I went along! It was more of a pain than I expected, I always forget about that point-matching part! LOL Somehow I think your granddaughter might be looking for a more 'traditonal" curved rainbow, but you could show her this one & see what she says. Otherwise, Carla's sounds good to me - make your curved rainbow & applique it onto a sky background? And to remember the rainbow color order: ROY G. BIV (Red-Orange-Yellow-Green-Blue-Indigo-Violet)!
Good Luck Ruth!
