    I just finished watching the video. I can hardly wait to start picking out my fabrics and get going on it. It looks like lots of fun. Great helpful tips in there.

      This new DVD has been a great addition to this last couple of busy weeks....I've watched it a few minutes here and there several times...I'd love to start one TODAY, but that will have to wait a few weeks. I also love the music arrangement with all the quilts. Great job Ricky!

        Watched the Kaleidescope lessons all the way through last night. Reallly looks challenging and I will start gathering fabric shortly. It will probably be my project for next summer. We hope to be going to Florida from February til the end of April and I am taking one of my machines and limited supplies with me. But am planning on doing something a little simpler while there. I love the music also. I'm plan on to purchasing one of his recorded music dvd's. Nan

          I'm assuming this is probably what he teaches in his Super Seminar which I've attended. It's a great lesson, but then ALL of his lessons are great!

          You are right. He is a terrific teacher. And always willing to laugh at himself. I appreciate that almost as much as his teaching.

            Well I've started mine. I have three strata done, two to go. I am a bit concerned that most of my fabrics are around 41-42 inches wide. I think the days of 45" fabric are over except for some...most likely Ricky's are. Anyway, I will muddle through somehow and change the angle of my templates if need be. I also am wondering how they were quilted...those beautiful ones that are on his DVD. That will be something to figure out when the time comes.

              Well, I decided to cut another freezer paper square, 16" instead of 18", and that solved my problem of not being able to get 6 across. I am now sewing together the wedges and they are going together quite well. My fabrics are colors and patterns all over the map, so it looks quite scrappy. So many of the ones in Ricky's gallery are so beautifully coordinated. NEXT TIME!!!

                My kaleidoscope top is finished and on my profile. I haven't decided how to quilt it...that will be a challenge. In the gallery it is #101159. Hope you like it.

                        Good Job Nancy, as Ricky says "Just trust the system" It is magical how such an array of fabrics come together. The balance of the kaleidoscope pattern makes all fabrics sing. Betty Ann in Fl

                                Thanks...I'm green with envy because I don't have any greats yet. Three granddaughters, 25, 27 and 30 and none married!!! The kaleidoscope was really fun once I got into it and thanks to all who wrote such nice compliments.
