Two years ago I attended a Quilting seminar with Ricky Tims, Alex Anderson and Libby Lehman. I have tried to make very little of the projects and techniques we learned. Two weeks ago I decided to change that. I opened the syllabus and made this Kool Kaleidoscope using Ricky's techniques. It was a lot of fun to make and now that I understand the techniques I know exactly what I will change the next time I make it.

The second one is a small wallhanging of Our lady of Guadalupe. I got a panel from a web site I posted a couple of weeks ago: Exotic Textiles. Is a ebay stores with lots of hard to find fabrics. They were excellent. Quick shipping and reasonable prices.

Both are stunning. Great work!

I love the kaleidascope. It's very striking, but looks very difficult to make. :!:

Is definitely not a project for beginners, but is not all that difficult. The main thing is to be able to sew a very straight line and able to match seams very well.The most difficult one is the fist stratta. After the first one all the rest are easier.

Wow, Maride! That is gorgeous. I just bought the same Our Lady of Guadalupe fabric. I'm making a big art quilt for my brother, and she is his favorite likeness of the madonna. It's such great fabric too!

Great quilts!

Great quilts ! Where did you get the Our Lady of Guadalupe fabric ? I was named after her and would love to make a wall hanging :lol: My middle name is Guadalupe, definitely very different for a small town Polish girl :wink: LOL

Beautiful!

Both are gorgeous :!:

Stunning, is right!

wow I love that one of the Guadalupe! I have a large blanket of her on our bed.

You are so precise and produce great thoughtful quilts.

Those are eye popping gorgeous! :shock:

Well done!!!

Border on OLofG really sets off the center motif; although not my style the KK is done nicely. Good job!

Both of them are beautiful. I am in love with that kaleidoscope. It is awesome. Great job on both. Thanks for sharing.

Oooo I LOVE your kaleidoscope quilt!!! And the Guadalupe quilt is beautiful :D:D:D

Both are gorgeous quilts!!!

I love that kaleidoscope.

wow, great work!

I absolutely love that kaleidoscope! That is just fantastic!
I would love to do a Ricky Tims seminar/class. That would just be awesome!!
You did an awesome job on both of them!

loved the kalediscope! Where did you get the pattern? I am new to quilting but I am starting to collect different patterns that I fall in love with to plan projects down the road.

So different and both are amazing. Great jobs.

Wow!! Both are really beautiful.

Very nice, both of them. :thumbup:

WOW! I love them both.

Awesome work! :)

Gorgeous quilts, love the 1st , 2nd is very pretty,

beautiful work. I would think one could use Ricky Tims techniques in many ways to create unique design.

BEAUTIFUL!

Both are just stunning. fantastic job. thank you so much for sharing. God bless. Penny

Very nice.

just beautiful

Wow :thumbup:

I am so sorry Tula, I didn't see this before. There is no pattern for the Kaleidoscope. It can from a seminar I took with Ricky Tims a while ago. You design your own following his instructions. If you go to www.thequiltshow.com you can watch show number 403 where he explains how to make it. Also he sells a DVD with the instructions in a little more detail than the show. Is fun to make.

Love those colors in that Kaleidoscope. Awesome work.
