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.

2 more beautiful quilts finished.....auntjo, you hung in there & got it finished. It's just beautiful & glad you decided to keep it for yourself. Wonderful story about it too. :)

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.

Your trip around the world has quite the story, auntjo. Nice finish!

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
