Kaleidoscope quilt
Looking for a video tutorial for making a kaleidoscope quilt.... Any recommendations?
|
There are several kaleidoscope named patterns.
|
Youtube is your friend. They have several good tutorials.
|
My favorite tutorials are by Donna Jordan. I have made several of her Summer Breeze pattern, which is a kaleidoscope and just recently she posted another called Roundabout, which seems to be similar to Summer Breeze but I have not compared the 2 patterns to see how they compare. Both are free patterns.
These are the type that there are rotating visions throughout, not the one block wonder ones. |
If I did another one of those, I'd paper piece it. Way less margin for error.

I only made one and it ended up in my UFO tub.

Jordan Fabrics has a good tutorial. Matt shows how to line up the fabric, cut it, etc. I think it might be a two-part tutorial. I've watched it a few times and will make one "sometime".

I made my own pattern after seeing one on the cover of a magazine. Drew a circle, divided into 8 pieces (pie shapes) and added 1/4" SA. Same with the piece that completed the block. This is my go to quilt!

Aashley333, your quilt is beautiful.

Thank you! Stay tuned...I pressed the backing for my new favorite K-quilt yesterday!

Love both kaleidoscope and One Block Wonder quilts...especially when the base fabric is used as backing or border so viewers can appreciate the transformation. I like that you never know quite what you are going to get!
