January 2018 - Paper Pieced Kaleidoscope block swap

Hi there, Sewbizgirl -
Happy New Year to you. In this swap, we're using a max of fabrics. Two fabrics - 1 light & 1 dark are just fine and if you want, you may use a 3rd light/neutral fabric for the corners. ((max 3 fabrics per block)).
I'll post a picture of an example using light/neutral prints in the corners - the same one I posted last month but that's fine.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. Would love to have you join us!!!

Ok, thanks Jane. I thought you might have made some changes since last time you offered it but I see the design will be basically the same. Thank you for answering my question. And Happy New Year to you, too!

I think one of the reasons that the circle design does not show up very well on the example picture that Jane posted is because of the neutral corners. In this day and age (especially with Bonnie Hunter's definition of 'neutral'), neutral can mean different things to different quilters. Jane's picture indicates a very modern approach to neutral for the choice of fabric for the corner pieces of the blocks. If you change the neutral corners to a fabric that is very pale and does not draw attention to itself, like for example, solid white fabric, then you will see the circle pattern emerge more readily. I came across this picture today, and thought I would show what a difference it makes when the corners are all white for all the blocks!
