Here's my 2nd UFO of the month, 4th of the year. Actually it's the 1st UFO; what I'm counting as my 1st was a PIG. I needed to work on something start to finish, so I made "Memories of Yosemite". That gave me enough of a feeling of accomplishment that I was able to finish this challenge. The top was layered and SID and some outline quilting back in 2008 when I started this. I don't FMQ, but kept hoping I learn. The borders needed something more, so I finally asked DD to FM it for me. She did flowers, swirls and leafy vines. It looked much better when she finished.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]404817[/ATTACH]The name is "Dorothy Got Whacked". I used a pattern from Bethany Reynolds' "Stack "N Whack" book. I'm not happy with parts of it, some points were cut off, but I love the look of the finished kaleidoscopes. On the whole, I like it.
