Anna, thank you. I will check out the link, look at my pattern and we can chat, see if I am able to help at all. Once I got the idea it was very exciting to do each block as you dont know what it will turn out like.
Theres a few different methods of cutting but all seem to end up the same result.

Oh Marily, do we need to talk! Your kaleidoscope quilt is the very pattern I am going to tackle next. I found the pattern online awhile ago. Found the fabric a month ago. But so far I have been chicken to stack it and whack it!! I bet you have some tips I could benefit from. Would you mind if sometime I see you online I ask for a chat and then we could talk about it?
Here is a link to the pattern if you can call it that, that Im working with.
http://www.bobrow.net/kimberly/Quilts/Tutorial/ It has great pictures, but the supply list and cutting instructions are a bit confusing. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
YOur quilt and pillow are gorgeous!
Thanks,
Anna

Thank you, Bobbi. I wasnt sure how they would go together, but having the triangle shape in both, and same fabrics I think it has worked. And only just - I was scratching for enough fabric.

Thanks for the information and the pictures....This is really a very pretty technique! I think I'll give it a try, soon.

- Re:Check out the gallery - 2007-07-06 00:17:55-04
Marilyn,
I just looked at your Friendship Star in the gallery.
It is so lovely! I really like the idea of making a traditional block showing the intact properties of the print from which you made your kaliedescopes. Both the quilt and the pillow are awesome.
Re:Check out the gallery
- Re:Check out the gallery - 2007-07-05 19:19:04-04
I have just added my friendship star pillow to my gallery. I made mine into a full size bed pillow, and used fabrics to match my kaleidoscope quilt. I have rotated the stars in opposite directions because I like to try variations.

Bobbi,
I love the finished quilt! The colors are so vibrant, and you did a very nice job with it. I am glad you enjoyed the class. Thanks for taking the journey with me on the first one!
Re:Pickled Cats Jar Quilt

Bobbi, Your cat fabrics used here are delightful. Very colourful and stylish cats. Your quilt looks like it was fun to make, and looks fantastic.

Momma just love your cat quilt. The fabric choices are just super. My cats will have lots of fights to sleep on it.
Re:Cat Quilt
- Re:Cat Quilt - 2007-07-05 01:52:41-04
Very Nice! The multi-cat fabric is what I am using for my noodles! You have good taste in fabrics...LOL
Re:Pickled Cats Jar Quilt
- Re:Pickled Cats Jar Quilt - 2007-07-05 01:28:37-04
Thanks Anna,
It was fun to make. I am getting the hand of the machine quilting now and have decided my quilt frame may not be used much anymore, especially for smaller projects like this.
I love your aquarium and have found the perfect fabric to try for that one. Thanks for sharihg your idea.

My granddaughter would love to curl up with this quilt too. If she sees it I may have a new project to do for her!
I too have been thinking about easing off on the big quilts for awhile. I really enjoyed making the bug jars and the pillow. It got me thinking ahead to Christmas. I think I may try to find some patterns for table runners, trivets, etc and do those for awhile now instead of huge quilt tops. At least that way I can start working on my hand quilting skills too if I want.
Again, lovely quilt!!! YOUR GOOD!!!
Re:Pickled Cats Jar Quilt
- Re:Pickled Cats Jar Quilt - 2007-07-04 15:34:20-04

Well here is my last quilt for a while. Going on to do some new projects. I will still be quilting because I have kinda become addicted, but just now so many so fast I am ready to slow down and start on some other holiday type stuff. And the Noodle shuffle is getting ready to start and I have oodles of noodles to play with.Post edited by: Momma, at: 2007/07/04 17:58

Anna,
Nice work on the quilt! I love the combination of the jars and the fish tank. (looks like you added fish food as well) you are a very clever girl! Love the work you should be very proud of this one.
Re:aquarium block is now a quilt
- Re:aquarium block is now a quilt - 2007-07-04 02:29:11-04

The kids at my child care center would love your quilt...we have a salt water aquarium and the children and parents just love it.

Anna, your aquarium block looks great combined with the jars. From the photo it does appear to be hanging straight and flat. The fabrics go so well. Fantastic.

Unless you joined the bookcase class at quiltingweekly you wont have access to the gallery. So I thought I would show off my finished quilt here too.
Its pretty cute, but I found it harder than normal to quilt because of all the straight edges and so many stitch in the ditch directions. But it hangs nice so thats a bonus!!!!
Re:Check out the gallery
- Re:Check out the gallery - 2007-07-03 11:50:59-04
Thank you for the comments. It is great to see each persons work and all our different approaches to colour and patterns. And it is good to be able to show others what we have been spending our time on. The gallery is worth visiting frequently, especially if needing inspiration.
