Kaleidoscope QAL - Piecing 1




Summer fun has begun!



I finally made up my mind with
the sable as the solid triangles.
Thank for everyone who helped me
with the selection.
Now I can be really relaxed for awhile :)))


The piecing instruction #1 is up now
and I proceeded with that without any problem.

I just took the extra care of 
the bias edges as fragile.
Then as Elizabeth's suggestion,
I pressed my seams opened ;)


The blank spots are where 
the missing fabric is going to be
(There was a FQ left out from my order!),
which I'm still patiently awaiting to receive.

The solid look gigantic all over,
but after sewn with the prints,
they should get settled better.

Can't wait to follow the next instructions!!

  6. Beautiful!! I think the sable makes the colors pop but also gives a resting place for the eyes.

  10. YOu have been busy during my absence! Lovely progress on Ann Grant, beautiful red flower hexies which look lovely all grouped together, and your new quilt has wonderful colors in it.

    Max & Mia are enjoying their new collars, although Mia rolled in something stinky, so she and the collar got a good washing! Wishing you a wonderful Independence Day.

  12. Love how the sable looks with the prints - don't even remember now how I voted! Maybe your quilting will help make the solid recede? More quilting on the solid to make the prints pop? Not sure if that would be the case, but it will be fun to see your progress.
    I've been pressing my seams open for most projects for about a year and I really like it. My blocks lay flatter and go together more easily.
