Our granddaughter will graduate from high school this June, which provides the occasion for a quilt! Her favorite colors are purple and turquoise. Both are in good supply in my fabric stash. I did have to buy the outer border fabric (though it was the only thing I bought that shopping trip).
The 8" (finished) kaleidoscope blocks are paper pieced using a pattern from a 2008 issue of Fons & Porter. The trimmings yielded a quantity of triangles that will find their way into another project.
The flimsy is 70 x 70. (One of the blocks is placed incorrectly. Can you find it? I didn't until I took the photograph.)
You can see what other quiltmakers are up to at Judy's Patchwork Times !
What a great graduation quilt! And nope I couldn't find the incorrectly placed block. The colors and the pattern cause such great movement through the quilt, my eyes were going all over it. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI can't find it either. The quilt is great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Job!... No I Can't find it so don't tell me..I'll just keep Staring and staring...like one of those pictures..Haha.. So I wouldn't think about that one anymore!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your colors of your kaleidoscope quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful!! Is it the center block?
ReplyDeleteI came to tell you how much I liked your scrappy triangles but I love this one too. When the same fabric can be either the darker or the lighter fabric, it is easy to make a mistake. I did the same on a wedding quilt I made last year.
