Default OBW finally done

I want to say thank you to everyone for all your help and suggestions! I went with the green for the background (it’s not nearly as dark as the photos), and since the fabric had a vintage feel for me, I opted for muslin for the backing, and the same green for the binding. All the fabrics are from Joann’s, I really love their Legacy Premium Muslin, it’s so soft and silky, I chose a large edge to edge panto for texture instead of design. Ended up as a nice 71 x 90 twin, and it will wait patiently for a new home, thanks for looking.

The green is perfect with that - I do like to see each kaleidoscope individually - it's easier to admire each one when it is separated by sashing.

It's beautiful. It does have that vintage look.

Love your quilt and the “poison green” really sets it!

Great choice with the green. It contrasts nice with the blocks. Pretty quilt and quilting too!

I love the medallions in your quilt. It has a very classic look to it.

I too believe the green was a great choice for the "K" print. I also like the panto
you chose. It seems so right for the feel of circles or twirls that kaleidoscopes
give me. I enjoy being able to see the individual designs that are created too.
