Quilt in a Day Forums

I've always admired kaleidoscope blocks so I bought the book One Block Wonders and settled in today to learn. It was pretty easy actually after getting the fabric lined up right. And the hexagons are strip sewn much to my delight. You use just one piece of fabric. Cut strips 6 layers deep and then cut 60 degree triangles. Every set of 6 triangles makes a hexagon and every one looks different!! I didn't believe it until I saw it myself:)I used a piece of "fish in the sea" fabric I had around for practice because it had a nice 12" repeat. The top picture is the fabric I started with.

Wow! Your blocks are great! I love the bright colors and the patterns really look great.

Where did u get the wild colors at? And do they come like that with the pattern on it? Sarah

SFO - What a wonderful job! They look very interesting! Your choice of fabric was excellent! They are very colorful.

Your colorful blocks are going to be beautiful in a quilt.

WOW! You picked the perfect fabric for this. I am impressed with your skill and color choice!
Nice work

That is really neat! Can't wait to try it. Great job.

That is incredible! The color variations are stunning and the blocks really do look like a kaleidoscope.

Would that work with a large floral design?
