Welcome to our Paper Pieced Kaleidoscope block swap. We will be making 6 1/2" unfinished blocks using the free pattern and template from Quilter by Design below.

Please print out lots of copies of the template as we will be making lots and lots of Kaleidoscope quilt blocks!!
If you look online you'll see that the success of these quilts depends on HIGH CONTRAST. We will be making 4 light/dark blocks and 4 dark/light blocks for a total of 8 (eight) blocks. We may adjust this once we get going. It's fine to make all of your blocks with different fabrics. Please use a light/neutral fabric for the light portion of the block including the corner units. You may use a third light fabric if you like. It doesn't necessarily have to be white or off-white, it just has to be light/neutral. The picture below is an example only.

Our first mailing deadline will be

Please Label Your Quilt Blocks. Any blocks not labeled will be returned unswapped.
This is going to be loads of fun! Let's Go!!
