I LOVE IT - ILOVE IT - ILOVE IT - Does the first one have a home ?

Absolutely stunning!!! No wonder you're addicted. Way over my head though.

Your quilts are beautiful. I started to make a kaleidoscope quilt a while ago but haven't finished it yet. I really need to get back to it. It's just one more of my UFO's.
I'm from Utah too.

Is that Stack 'n' Whack? I haven't tried one yet--they're kind of scary!

These are stunning. I love kaleidoscope quilts. I love how the blue in the top one just pops out at me. It is kind of florescent look in the lgt blue. I just noticed there is also a cream/white/ or yellow (not sure which) that does the same thing. The second one looks like fall and I really love the ones at the bottom that looks like wreaths the way the leaves circle the inside. The last on is just so bright and cheery. You do and excellant job of laying them out.

beautiful! bookmarking, but intimidated too. I know I am not at this skill level, but also have visual problems, so, who knows, maybe one day I'll do a few and incorporate them with some other stuff. So pretty to look at, and I agree, the first one glows. Like all three :D

MollieSue 02-21-2009 06:30 PM

Those are truly beautiful quilts!

mjsylvstr 07-17-2009 03:06 AM

Your quilts are absolutely gorgeous....I bought the "ONE BLOCK WONDER" book. Is that the pattern you used? I have not yet attempted them...hae purchased some fabric, hoping that I bought the right patterns for this project....but can't seem to get moving on it. wondering if I will be attempting more thatn I can handle.

Any suggestions? Thanks.....mj

Yarn or Fabric 07-17-2009 03:14 AM

Very sharp! You really do have an eye for color. The first one is my favorite!

My mother says she makes kaleisescope quilts but I have never seen one of hers. I'm not sure if she makes them like these or if she makes a different kind.

Since I'm pretty new to quilting seeing them the other day blew my mind away. ... finally a use for that weird fabric that I have gotten along the way that just does not seem to fit with any other project lol! I"m looking forward to making one.

A few of my friends are going to start a quilting group of our own. After going to the quilting guild in town and deciding that it was too stuffy. We would rather go some place and actually quilt!!! So we are branching out and going on our own. We are going to do one of these in one of our first get togethers. We are all intrigued by them. We are just looking for a place to meet right now...!

Those are beautiful quilts! Is it hard to do?? I'd love to make one...

billswife99 07-17-2009 09:48 AM

You ARE addicted! I think there are a few of us here that just can't stop stacking! :D

2wheelwoman 07-17-2009 11:08 AM

An addiction that produces something so stunning can't be all bad. :-)

Boston1954 07-17-2009 11:38 AM

Wow!! I wish I could do that, but I think any attempt by me would fall short.

STAR 07-17-2009 11:46 AM

your quilts are so beautiful! I love the blue one but they all look great. Thats the kind of addiction I would like to have. :lol: If you need an intervention you can send one my way :lol:
Great Job!!

littlehud 07-17-2009 06:26 PM

Beautiful quilts. How large are your kaleidoscopes.

cleodaisy 08-09-2012 10:12 AM

What lovely quilts!!!!! I also like your borders made from the original fabrics. I have done one Stack and Whack. My original thought was to make 6 blocks. It was so much fun, and lots of fabric was left in the cut stack. I ended up with a queen sized quilt. The One Block Wonders quilts fascinate me too. I have fabric for one now. My present project MUST be finished first though.

Just gorgeous!

northern lass 08-09-2012 12:43 PM

Absolutely gorgeous. Just completed one but not totally happy with it. It's the cutting that makes it. I could easily become addicted, I just love the effect they produce.

busy fingers 08-09-2012 01:19 PM

I love your addiction.

liont 08-09-2012 04:41 PM

The last one is like plates of fruits salad!

coachmatthewsvhs 08-10-2012 06:26 AM

these are absolutely gorgeous........... I've never done one...... just addicted to the OBW. May have to try one now!

heather1949 08-10-2012 06:33 AM

They are all gorgeous,well done.

Mariposa 08-10-2012 06:36 AM

What pretties to be addicted to! Lovely work! I love the last one with the fruits! :)

That's what I think, too... & I'd bet that's the trickiest (& most important) part! These are all gorgeous & I don't blame you for being addicted! I would be, too! Stunning! Thanks for sharing these beauties with us!

dhanke 08-10-2012 10:34 AM

Gorgeous! I'm also a snw addict, I didn't make my first one until last year, I've made 6 so far and I have fabric for at least 10 more.
For some fabulous inspiration check out the work of Linda Rotz Miller. She's posted several of her quilts here on QB, she also has her own website. She's AMAZING!

Lady Jane 08-10-2012 12:06 PM

Those are all very pretty.

Helen S 08-10-2012 01:08 PM

I'd say you are addicted, but it's a good addiction, right?! :D They're beautiful.

joyce888 08-10-2012 01:13 PM

Beautiful! You and I need to live close. I would cut out a quilt for you if you would cut a kaleidoscope for me. I'm frozen in fear of messing up the fabric.

carslo 08-10-2012 01:31 PM

Wow, I have two sets of fabric ready to start similar quilts but I am afraid to even try. Great job! Can you come and help me?

IzzysGrammie 08-10-2012 03:37 PM

These are beautiful! I want to learn to cut these too! Can you use a Dresden ruler or is it a different tool?

debcavan 08-10-2012 04:09 PM

They are so fun, I can see why you are addicted. You get a surprise in every block. And thent he overall is gorgeous. I never get tired of seeing them. I just look and look at all the individual blocks as well as the overall beauty

Quilt Novice 08-11-2012 10:53 AM

Nice work!

lynnie 08-11-2012 11:24 AM

just so pretty.
i love making these quilts
only problem is decicing the layout'

Quilter 65 08-11-2012 05:32 PM

Even though we don't live close, the same bug has bitten me. I have one almost done and material for 3 more. They are just fascinating to me. The variety is immense and yours are beautiful.

Essiescott 08-12-2012 03:18 AM

Those are really beautiful. Want to try to do one, one of these days.
