Great quilts, happylab and auntjo.

I haven't sewn much lately because I've been cutting baby buntings out of fleece for a charity. It feels so good to finally get it done because the fleece has been in 4 large tubs probably for a year. . So I will have some empty tubs and a huge empty space where the tubs were stacked.

Hopefully will get to some sewing projects later this week.

Thank you for the directions. I'll print them out and put them on the design wall so I don't lose them for next time.

The Attack Can quilt is finished again.

This is a very old UFO. Don't remember when I started it but it was my first try at a Kaliadescope, a technique that was on my bucket list. It is only the flimsy but thought I would post anyway. Apologies for my photos, the combination of the lighting in my design room and my camera always distorts the color. Under normal conditions I would never combine lavender and yellow, however since the fabric designer did, I thought it was kind of interesting.

I have never tried a Kaleidoscope. It is amazing how many different blocks you got from your fabric.
Someday perhaps but I have no idea how to even choose a fabric for such an adventure. Nice work!

I have to agree with WMUTeach. That is fabulous. I'm not sure I'll ever get to the place of trying one of those but I love the effect.

Emma--there are some really neat blocks in that quilt.

I too am working on a kaleidoscope UFO right now...it is a little different method (easier than cutting all those triangles)...here is the free pattern: http://www.bethanyreynolds.com/downloads/SpinCycle.pdf
