    a wide meander works well on the kaleidoscopes because it does not take away as much as a tighter pattern

    If you want something more than an all over random meander stipple type of quilting ... I saw one done where the quilting kind of went around each of the kaleidos, so as to emphasize and help them pop up more. (clear as mud what I'm saying, right?)

    I was going to say meander as to not have any quilting show. Then I saw hcarpaninis and the one above. I am amazed at them.

    Something simple though.

    the photo doesn't do it justice. (i don't mind saying that because i took the picture. a professional photographer i am definitely not. :lol: )
