I think I'm the only one on the board that has no interest in them!
I don't know why they don't appeal to me.

one day i will get the right fabric to make one.

LOL.... have done several with posies (4 block squares)and I'm just fasinated, the minute I see a pattern that has a large open square in it, my mind goes straight to a posey, and it works, adds a cool flair.
Haven't done OBW yet but am ready with the ruler !! It's on the list. :)

I have to agree with that statement! A disclaimer. LOL

Ummmmm please expand that...it's not just Stack and Whack designs or OBWs....it's quilting in general that's habit forming!!! I used to laugh when reading that you quilters had 4-8 WIPs going...now I have that many!!!!!!!

This is the WARNING I put at the end of my Dresden Kaleidoscope ebook!

Be Warned!!!

Kaleidoscopes are contagious!!!
Fabric Fever may set in!

Symptoms:

1.your heart beats faster and faster when you look at fabric
2. You break out in a sweat if you can’t buy that fabric
3. You look at a Kaleidoscope and know you can’t do just one!
4. You just can’t wait to get your hands on some fabric!
5. Your dreams are filled with fabrics to make more Kaleidoscopes!
6. You start seeing kaleidoscope possibilities in everything you see!

If you have any or all of these symptoms then you probably have:

Diagnosis: FABRIC FEVER and WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE? virus

Treatment:

You will need to buy more fabric to alleviate this symptom! You may need to make the next kaleidoscope to stop the spread of the “what will it look like” virus !!

When you reach the end of the number of Kaleidoscopes you need - the virus and the fever should disappear.

If you experience a return of Fabric Fever you will need to start the treatment all over again!!!

May you be blessed with good eyes strong hands and an able mind!
And great fabric!!

Be aware that this technique is addictive and may cause undue stress on your quiltmaking. You will discover that before you have the first top finished you will have another cut, another on the cutting table to be cut and about three more still in the original store bags waiting in line to start the process.

Love this - made me laugh! What an incredible true statement :)

How true, how true. I had to tell myself no more after 5 in a row, kept finding fabric that would do another one, said no, you have other quilts(10) in the planning. Get those done first. LOL
