    TY, Robert, for your kind words... TY, QuiltE, for your help...

    Robert, as I've said, this was my first kaleido, so I still have a lot of doubts, a lot of new points to learn... for example, I didn't know nothing about what QuiltE has written here!

    So sorry, but I really don't remember the amount of fabric I had... when I've found it on quilt shop I've bought the whole last small amount of fabric (border).

    As I usually do in my quilts, I begin to sew without a complete and definite plan... what is always a nightmare for me... LOL...

    What has happened with this quilt was:
    1)I've loved the fabric and bought it...
    2)It was just a long time that I wanted to try a kaleido, and this border seemed perfect to me...
    3) then I did some studies of the look of the pattern with two mirrors...
    4) I've sewn all the kaleido blocks that my fabric has allowed me... it was 16!
    5)then, I've measured the area these blocks represented
    6)I've measured my bed, and decided the measures of my desired quilt (OMG, you may be noticing how insane is this... LOL)
    7) I came back to the quilt store, and began to find the 2 other fabrics that matched colors with my blocks (the light and dark turquoise blue)
    8) back home again, I began to cut and sew strips...
    9) back to the quilt store, to buy a dark navy blue for backing and bias...
    10) back home again, to finish the quilt...

    I don't recommend this behavior, definitely!

    Exactly now I'm almost crazy with a quilt, dealing with the same problem: as always, I began it without a "published pattern"... the fabric I'm sewing has a delicious touch, but is terrible to be sewn... it is a very soft and smooth Shannon Fabric I've bought last year when in Houston Festival (http://www.shannonfabrics.com/index....&cPath=712_730)...

    Every time I do this, every time I swear my next quilt pattern will be found in a magazine... LOL
