Thanks, Elly and Joe'smom :-)

While I don't think I'll be making another one of these terribly soon (so many points and ironing little bits at a time!), it was SO much fun playing with the kaleidoscopes and seeing how many different patterns I could come up with before finally committing to one and sewing it together. :-)

I would recommend giving the OBW a go if you've got a big length of appropriate fabric you're not quite sure what to do with - you'll be amazed at how it is transformed into something unique and visually exciting. Just make sure you are using an actual 60 degree triangle template - there are a couple out there that look almost right but they're not (at least they're not for this particular pattern). Donna Jordan's tutorial on "easy hexagon kaleidoscope quilt" was really helpful for construction (and she also goes over what makes a good fabric choice for these blocks), although I chose to turn mine into a hexagon star pattern overall instead.

Happy quilting, all!
