While the photo (below) is a little dull, look at how those YUKKY strips make a pretty nice block!
And here are a few more to add to the mix. I will put a dull blue on half of the corners and a dull tan on the other half. So far, there are 6 blocks.
With WOF strips cut ahead of time, one 17 inch block can be strip-sewn, pressed, cut and resewn in about 30 minutes, I promise. (Note, the seams on the wedges do NOT butt up to the next. )
Yay! More QOV. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour kaleidiscope quilts always turn out fabulous. I have got to give this another try. What angle is your ruler again? I think I tried too large a wedge last time.
ReplyDeleteOh no!!!! Now, I'm going to need to make one of these quilts! Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's like magic! From dull to dramatic. And your center points meet perfectly.
ReplyDeleteVery fun!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks. Oh my Elaine. I mean utterly magnificent and my kind of beautiful!!!!!!!!! (you see my adoration, do you not?) hee!
ReplyDeleteSO beautiful as usual for your great artistic eye.
ReplyDeleteI am sitting here drinking a wonderful cup of REAL hot cocoa and crocheting a baby blanket for next GREAT-GRANDSON due in May.
I see the weather is going to be nice for your trip. I hope you have a great time. I envy you soooooooooo much.

Those blocks look great! And that flowery little print just dances around the block! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThere are no yucky colors... you just proved it!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! This will be a wonderful QOV. I love a block that is easy to make and turns out so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your class with Bonnie! Sounds like tons of fun.
You are the queen of kaleidoscopes! Careful on your trip, I imagine it's still pretty snowy out there.
ReplyDeleteYour successes with this block don't end--its a big WOW again. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteYa,Ya,Ya your blocks are gorgeous (as usual I must say) BUT, you're going on a quilt trip this weekend!!!????That means only one more sleep! OOoOOooOOO...I'm so jealous! I have to wait until Monday to leave for my retreat!!
ReplyDeleteI agree she is the Queen of Kaleidoscope blocks. Someday I will get a ruler and try harder to make one, the angle ruler I have just doesn't work right..hmmm. Amazing how you have learned to get that center to meet so perfectly most of the time.
ReplyDeleteSew Peacefully DEB};o
Beautiful, as always. Enjoy your class with Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! Have fun with Bonnie - Wish I could be there with you...
ReplyDeleteyour directions are great, the ruler is fun. Help--I am becoming a big obcesssed! FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN Now, time to put the ruler away and work on UFO. Waaaahhh!
ReplyDeleteWould you share your pattern for these lovely quilt blocks? It is amazing how they make the most unimaginative fabrics so beautiful. I read your blog daily!
ReplyDeleteElaine, thank you for sharing your kaleidescope quilts and showing your strip sets. I bought a triangle ruler last week and was inspired to try a kaleidescope. Subee Sews had given me some information about a ruler and I remembered your quilts. After finding you I started my quilt on Thursday, finished it yesterday. I hope you will see it on my blog. Also, after learning from trial and error I will be much more careful with my contrast on my next quilt. This design is so simple and exotic looking. Since I did not have a book to go by, your instructions along with Subee Sews have helped me achieve a beautiful kaleidescope quilt for my sister. thanks again for sharing.
