Kool Kaleidoscope -- Show Your Progress Here

[cawoo]

Love seeing all the different color combinations and patterns. I decided to use a rainbow of bright colors - got this far today. My husband helped me decide on the color for the wedgies and butts...wanted just one color. Looking forward to watching the video on borders and then finishing this up.

I’m really happy with my design, but it doesn’t look anything like what I expected. Thank you Ricky for your tips on how to handle mistakes. I’ve used some of them.

These are the borders you get when you plan to do a double mitered border, but then realize your border pieces aren't long enough to miter. :-)

[Karen S.]

Your butts and wedgies are perfect!

My top is finished

[Ricky T.]

using the bits for piano key border - nice!

[Karen S.]

Love this border! I think I’ll copy!

[Birgit F.]

I pulled some fabrics from my stash, that are not quite my traditional colourway and just started sewing. Now the for sections are sewn together and it looks like a christmas ornament or snowflake. I like it! Now I have to decide on a border. I have a lot of small pieces left from my strata and thinking about adding additonal „spikes“ to the star.

It looks like an ice crystal. :)

[John A.]

I love this winter look. It will be exciting to see where you go from here. Keep posting your progress.

Ricky explained everything so well and step by step, so I could follow easily, even though, English is not my first language…

Have finished the centre and am very pleased with it. Many thanks Ricky, for your excellent instructions. Will take some time now to think about the borders.

[Julie Y.]

I so enjoy this process! Love seeing everyone's work! Thank you Ricky for all you do. Now back to work! Lol

[Jean E.]

I posted a previous version with aqua butts and wedgies. I thought the kaleidoscope just faded into the background, so I carefully ripped those seams and redid the outside in two shades of purple. On to thinking about borders.

I got it sewn together . Wild and crazy

[Julie Y.]

Fantastic! Wtg!

My COVID KOOL KALEIDOSCOPE is called “The 12 days of Covid”.
I’ve been watching Ricky demonstrate Kool Kaleidoscopes since I joined TQS in February 2007, but when he said he used his HOSPITAL GOWN, I knew it was finally time for me to jump on the bandwagon because my son was in the hospital then with Covid! He is home now, and I asked his wife to send me his hospital gown because the dots reminded me of the Corona Virus images. He was in the hospital for 12 days and there are 12 dots in the central star.
Thanks Ricky Tims for yet another wonderful learning experience.
TQS ROCKS!!

every quilt has a story - this will be one to remember!!

[Joyce T.]

Margo, this is a very beautiful quilt!

[Helen W.]

Margo, Always love your quilts. Thanks for telling the special meaning to yours. Are you going to give it to your son??? HelenW

[Grammi]

What do you think. Not sewn.

[stitchdiva]

This is stunning Grammi

[Grammi]

Thank you stitch diva.

[Judy S.]

I really like the fact that your strips of fabric in the strata were narrow. Makes a very dramatic outcome.
