Tonight I finished sewing it. The center was "less than perfect" so I appliquéd a circle over the center. It is still less than perfect, but hopefully I will find a place to use it where it will shine.

Kool Kaleidoscope Block
A while back a dear friend sent me a kit. Somehow it got buried and forgotten. This past week I found it. Then I traced the templates, adding the quarter inch seam allowance, and cut them out.

It might be less than perfect but it looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteI love those kaleidoscope blocks. I have never attempted one, though because I get stumped at the first step - picking out fabric!
ReplyDeleteall of the colors would have confused me....I think it looks great.....
ReplyDeleteI would not have known that the circle wasn't intended to be there. Niiice!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea about the circle....I have done stuff like that before. You know I just love this block!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous, Gene! I've always wanted to do a kaleidoscope one but I get hung up on the fabric choices that would work best for it.
ReplyDeleteHey I like it....and I think everything I've ever made is less than perfect...so it's all good :)

Love the kaleidoscope and would love to try one but it looks soooo hard. Make a nice wall hanging with it, it really needs to be displayed.
ReplyDeleteThat is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteEverything done by hand is less than perfect, but that's what makes it special -- doesn't look like it was created by a cookie-cutter machine. This is the perfect kit for you, being so colorful. It shines all by itself, just frame it!
ReplyDeleteI have always been fascinated by kaleidoscopes-this is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful colors. It definitely reminds me a kaleidoscope - love the patterns those things form. You may not think it's perfect but it looks beautiful to me!!
ReplyDeleteI always liked Kaleidescopes, and the fabric you chose is great. You should see the one Ricky is making on the Quilt Show.
