I've posted before in "main" about this quilt--it's for a competition that had 2 criteria--a specific size and only these colors allowed: black,white (I didn't use it); apple green; "royalish" blue or dark teal, raspberry, sun or maize yellow. I bought fabric while on a shop hop last year, intent on getting started. Fast forward 7 months and I started making the strip sets or strata for Ricky Tims Kool Kaleidascopes--Hated the fabric! Used it for charity project and ordered batiks (only 3 fabrics were in originals bought on shop hop)and started. I screwed up and ended up with Y(why??) seams in the largest template and the middle one. THEN, made what he calls wedges and butts that make the kaleidascope into a square and ran out of black. The shop I bought it was discontinuing that brand and couldn't find any--so ended up replacing All the black! Then bought wideback--decided I needed just solid black instead. Wanted to double bat using 80/20 on the bottom and either a black wool or poly as the top bat--finally found a black poly (Quilter's Dream). So here it is, ready to quilt as soon as I mark it. The black will be done a'la Krista Withers modern quilting. Not sure what I'm doing in the kaleidascopes. Has turned out to be a very expensive quilt![ATTACH=CONFIG]570288[/ATTACH]
