It is made using 2 strips of fabric colors sewn together-a light and dark color match, as the "Rainbow II" is a split diamond pattern. Then diamonds are cut out of the strips using a 45 degree diamond ruler. I don't think you really have to have a diamond ruler, there are so many talented quilters on here who could figure it out! Carpenters wheel can be done similar, except using a strip of fabric and cutting out the diamonds instead of using HST's. Every now and then I take out my Quick Star Quilts and Beyond book and look it over. So many wonderful patterns inside. This is another one on my list to do this year.
Look up the book on Amazon.com and you can peek inside it!
