Hello everyone. A while ago, I made a One Block WOnder with this poppy fabric http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-46159-1.htm ( this I have now sold). I had four pattern repeats left so as an experiment, I made these kaleidoscope blocks by cutting half square triangles from a layered stack of four pattern repeats. The blocks then got put away in my 'orphan block' box.
A friend of mine is having a tough time lately and since she loved the poppy fabric so much I made her this out of those orphan blocks, another yard of the original fabric and some solid black. I am pretty pleased with it, I must say. I quilted it freehand on my Janome 6600. I like the look of the feathers on the black especially! I left the panels of original fabric unquilted - it should be fine, it was Quilters Dream wadding which holds up pretty well. :-D The quilt - sorry it's a bit dark. The colours are better on the other pics. It's 48" square [ATTACH=CONFIG]164922[/ATTACH] Close up of the block quilting [ATTACH=CONFIG]164923[/ATTACH] Close up of the borders and the original fabric.
