          you can do this, beautiful work so far.

        My center seems to be quite different than others. Looks like a Kaleidoscope to me, just a different rotation. So much fun. Great directions.

          I want to send a special thank you to Ricky! I am so grateful for your careful instructions. I have always wanted to use the technique of nesting seams, but I could never figure out ahead of time which way to press them. My brain cannot plan such steps ahead.
          This project was so much fun especially due in part to the ease of joining sections with the use of nesting seams!!!! Wow! Thanks so much!

            Now it's ready for borders - loving it! My stash-busting kaleidoscope quilt had flowers, grunge, turtles, batiks, the Ghastlies........ a true stash-buster!

              Ready for borders. This has been fun! Impressed with the process-came out square.

                Looks fantastic!

              This was a lot of fun. I used “my precious, “ gold stripe from Victoria Findlay Wolf, and except for the black, of the rest is from Alison Glass. I’m glad I did. And I’m looking in my stash and planning another.

                    I have my centre kalidascope sewn together. I couldn’t,t be happier. I love how it starts as just strips and turns into something you could never imagine. Thank you Ricky for this fun project now onto Borders after the next session…I am ready….

                      I wasn't sure how this would turn out. I used some chicken fabric I had. Turns out it's really fun!
