It is a very cool pattern, done either way! I'm doing an obw with all triangles/half hexies like this. I'm stuggling a bit keeping it all so well met. :)

I know exactly what you mean!! The "sound effects" with Donna putting a quilt together are great!! :) You forgot the sound of the steam iron :D

I looked at this tutorial yesterday and have down loaded the pattern. I especially enjoy her emphasis on using color placement of color to make a pattern look so different. I hope to add this to my to-do list.

Sure...I had a kite ruler template for years that I never used and finally sold it...isn't that what it takes to make this quilt? If so, guess I'd better buy another one! Geeeez

I agree...I enjoy her videos too.

If you are afraid of those corners, do one more step. When you have the pin standing up straight holding those middle points together, take another pin and pin beside it to hold that in position. Take another pin and pin on the other side of that center pin. Then you can take the middle pin out and sew so that your sewing line goes right through those crossed threads at the center.
If you look very carefully at her center points, they do not match exactly either. They are just a little bit off. So what's the difference? Let it be. Just do it and don't be too criticle of your work. Nobody does it perfectly perfect all the time.

SBG I thought Kaleidoscope was on your list to make! :-)

Suzie, if you do decide to make it, you could put the fabrics up on the Start to Finish thread.
