I think your quilt is very pretty and unique! I love the colors.

That's exactly what I'm thinking I'll do, set the little 3" squares on point into the setting triangles.

Great quilt, perfect name, I'm with the others, black setting triangles - do you have enough of the little 3" squares to use in each black triangle? Maybe set on point within the triangle? Please don't forget to show us what you do.

Oooooh. Pretty, pretty, pretty. I like the name too. Your little colored squares and triangles make me think of wrapped candy kisses.

I give credit to Linda Rotz Miller for the layout, she does such fantastic imaginative layouts with snw blocks!

Love your hippie beads stack 'n whack. Do you have pics of the fabric before it was cut? During my hippie years everyone wanted to look like Cher, bangs down to the nose, and straight hair, I had hair like Janis Joplin....

I love this quilt. Can you post a picture of what the fabric looked like before you started? Even if you just have scraps left? I want to do a stack and whack and trying to get inspiration for fabric design to buy. Most people use a floral fabric but soemthing tells me that this was not a floral fabric. How much material did you use of that fabric--for this quilt? I have no idea how much material to buy.

Did you have a template to use for cutting these pieces out? What template did you use? Did you need 8 peices for each block. Is this what they call the kaleidescope stack and whack? Again, I just love this quilt and want to make one.
