The beautiful quilt above is the winding ways, it is curved versus Kaleidoscope, which is straight pieces.

I think yngldy is right, it's the kaleidoscope. the maltese cross looks like the kaleidoscope as the center of a square in a square. here's a pretty scrappy http://www.frommarti.com/show_K_happy.shtml

Thank you, all for the input! Now that I know the name I could see many examples for further ideas. Once I had the name, the googling began and the bonus is I stumbled upon a new site to follow http://www.redpepperquilts.com/2013/...e-Pattern.html Ahhh, the back of her kaleidoscope quilt is beautifully crisp, clean, and orderly. Her tutorial is brief but includes a couple of "always need to hear" processes.

Her kaleidoscope is not a true one...it should have a HST at the corners to create that " curved" moving motion....hers looks more like periwinkle or arkansas snowflake |
Sorry I didn't make myself clear. My quilt is Winding Ways using Marti Mitchel templates. It was a wedding gift for a granddaughter in September. I have enough fabric to make another. It was easy to cut with a 28mm rotary cutter and piece using a washable glue stick.

It is a Kaleidoscope block and you can get directions on quiltescache.com I made a king size quilt with this pattern for my DH, (he picked the block pattern), and it was a great quilt, however, you have to be careful of all those bias edges. Maybe if I had known about using spray starch way back then it might have been easier.

I agree, LD. While I have made several kaleidoscope tops, and the seams are straight, I have never made a Winding Ways quilt and the seams are curved.
