Really like how this one came out. I wasn't sure there was enough variety in the fabric but I think it worked just fine.

Haven't decided how I want to quilt it. Something simple for sure. Will use black for the binding.

You have to make your pictures larger! It looks beautiful - but I want to see more detail!

mom-6 03-20-2013 11:43 AM

When the picture was larger it wouldn't upload.

Beautiful! Don't you just love making those? I could hardly wait to see all the different blocks when I made mine.

Beautiful! I like the idea of black binding and a simple all over FMQ design so not to take away from the kalidescope design blocks.

Diane007 03-20-2013 01:13 PM

very nice quilt

MamaBear61 03-20-2013 01:19 PM

It is lovely and I agree that a simple quilting design will have the most impact.

Beautiful! Love the color!

Thanks all for the kind words! This is my favorite of the three kaleidoscope/OBW ones I've done. Wish I had taken a picture of the really bright one I gave my SIL for Christmas. I did the star points in navy for it. I'm thinking of adding the star points to the OBW one as I'm having real problems with the border and getting the whole thing to lay flat.

I love your quilt. How do I find the pattern. Thank you.

Nice work. Very pretty.

mom-6 03-21-2013 06:25 PM

I just followed the tutorial on this board by cutebuns for OBW. Then I asked on this board for suggestions of how to show off the individual motifs. One of the suggestions was adding the triangles to create the stars. So you just cut triangles of the accent fabric the same size as the triangles you cut for your kaleidoscopes.

debcavan 03-21-2013 06:32 PM

it looks gorgeous. They are so fun

Thank you Mom-6 I will try that. I just love yours.

beautiful - nice job!

Beautiful, I love it! One question about this block, did you have any issues with tenting in the center? I tried making some kaleidescope blocks using a Creative Grids ruler, and every single block had tenting in the middle. I was very meticulous with my cutting and not overhandling so as not to stretch the bias edges. Do you starch, no starch, any idea what I was doing wrong? Thanks!!

WisWis 03-22-2013 12:05 PM

Looks lovely.
