Hello everyone - here's my latest kaleidoscope quilt top - or rather, three tops! It is designed to be hung on one pole but as three separate panels. I wanted to try using three different size blocks from the same fabric to see how it would effect the outcome - the smallest ones (right hand panel) are much more dramatic that the large. The flowers are appliqued on fusible style and the stamens are thread painted. Once this is quilted, I plan to hand sew some purple seed beads onto the flower centres. The first pic is the original fabric. :-D

The three panels - each is 40" x 30" so the piece takes up 90" x 40" of wall space.
