First try at Kaleidoscopes
#1
I guess I need a little practice at picking the placement of my template. The center looks ok, but not happy with the body of the template area. I was kind of disappointed in the e-book this time. It does not go into much detail about how to make sure each piece is cut from the same area of fabric. I am not sure how to do that part of it, and I think if you are off by just a little bit, it throws the whole kaleidescope off. Sorry Rhonda. I love my Boston Blocks e-book though!!!!

I ordered the e-book, too, but just haven't taken the time to read through it yet. I hope to get to it by the end of summer.

It is hard to tell someone else how to place the template for the best look. That is kind of a subjective thing. I may like one look but you might not like it. So it is up to the quilter to decide what looks good to her or him.
Sorry I can't be more help but you are more than welcome to come over anytime and I will help you!!!
Glad you like the Bostons! Maybe the next book will cheer you up!!
I think your kaleidoscope turned out really well. It will make a differance too if you try a differant fabric or even just a differant place in your fabric here. Some comeout great and some come out just so so. That is the luck of the draw sometimes. I have some that don't come out as good as I thought they would. If you keep doing them you will get an idea of what kind of designs make the look you want.
