I recently taught and lectured in Federal Way for the Crazy Quilters. We had a half-day Kaleidoscope Puzzle Quilts class and my students had enough time to cut out plenty of kites and wedges and then play with their design layouts.
There was a large hall adjacent to the classroom, so when it came to designing, some of my students moved in and spread out their pieces on the floor.
It was so much fun seeing the patterns come alive. The value placement and fabric make such a difference and we had a great variety. The students learnt a great deal and were inspired by looking at other student’s choices and making layout suggestions. These traditional Kaleidoscope blocks can take on quite a contemporary look like this black and orange on-point example.
Thanks for telling me how to subscribe to your blog.
You are welcome.
I wasn’t able to take the class but saw some of the results and they are wonderful. Did attend the lecture at the guild meeting and really enjoyed myself. Wonderful speaker!!!
So glad you enjoyed the lecture. If you want to try the technique, I have patterns available and there are YouTube videos on my website.
Great photos, Maggie. Thank you for posting them. Everyone loved the class and the results are varied and awesome. All the best!
It was fun. I’d love to see pictures of the quilts once they are completed.
Thank you so much for your trunk show and the program. It was wonderful. We all really enjoyed it. Your quilts are amazing. I loved listening to your accent, again thanks for sharing.
