Wall hanging, about 25 by 40, but that could change. I'd use the kaleidoscope pattern (rulers) but shrink the block to 5". I've had this idea in my head since I reached the end of Kayak on the Lake... so I'm at least glad to get it out of my head so I can see it better. :roll: Although this is just the general plan--it won't look exactly like this.
I've been collecting batiks for it little by little and was surprised to find all I need, or maybe I wasn't so surprised. :wink: I think I'll make two at a time and give one to my sister. The Fall colors [ATTACH=CONFIG]64293[/ATTACH] Fall waning.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]64324[/ATTACH] Touch of Fall [ATTACH=CONFIG]64395[/ATTACH] These made the cut. The gold in the center will be used very little. [ATTACH=CONFIG]64403[/ATTACH] Close up of the spring/summer corner. [ATTACH=CONFIG]64404[/ATTACH] |
You always have such good ideas. That will be a knockout.
|
Very nice colors, I love it!
|
It's going to be awesome!
|
But then I think I'm not using the kaleidoscope pattern as it's supposed to be used and wonder if I could make the same effect with tiny log cabins. Shrug.
|
Love your lay out and colors. Looks to me like leaves are swirling through the pattern your working with. Great idea Karla. I really like this one. The fabrics are so rich.
|
That will be beautiful and the batiks are gorgeous. I have a batik fetish. LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
|
Ooooo oh so pretty!!!! :D:D:D
|
It will be absolutely beautiful - I am jealous
|
Beautiful fabrics and great pattern. It will be beautiful, whatever you decide!!
|
this is so amazing! done this way, it looks so different! it hardly looks like a kaleidoscope. all you see is color changing from value to value. the color becomes all-important. what size will this one be?
can i be your sister? |
I trust your design instincts. You are certainly one of the more talented quilters I've seen!
|
I love it! The colors you chose are great! Can't wait to see it finished!
|
Oh yes, I love your colours! :D
|
Karla I love it! and the fabrics are making me drool. :-D
Little question, why are you concerned about using the K block if it's to be used? |
Weeeellll...I'm not considering any light to dark work, just a blending of seasons, so it won't look like circles...I feel I'm cheating myself out of a fabulous design the way it's meant to be...but I'm willing to step out of the box. :lol:

Like I told Karla, I love it!! Of course, I love everything she does. But if you stand back from your monitor (and are as near-sighted as I am) it looks like a close up of a pinecone in a fir tree. Really neat.
|
I love those fabrics! It will be gorgeous!

I like your 'outside-the-box' ideas. They turn into beautiful quilts. I really liked the color shading on Kayak on the Lake and look forward to seeing this one.
|
I wouldn't worry about using a block "not the way it is supposed to be used"...outside the box...thats the way to go! I love this look!
|
That is going to be beautiful. I love your fabrics. Such wonderful choices.
|
Very pretty!
|
i love this block and think it's perfect. it gives you all those separate bits for gradually moving from one color to another.
|
I really like this idea and your fabric choices!
I really need to get EQ6! Hugs April |
It's gorgeous, and I'm drooling over all of your fabrics!!
|

|
Hey, Sis, it's beautiful! Batils are my favorite fabric so you done good!

This will be beautiful. It could be done using the logcabin block too. Went to your website, your mini's are just adorable!
|
Can't wait to see the finished product!
|
wow, great colors.
|
Sarah--I bought the fabrics all over the place--just bits here and there.
