Recently I taught a class at Pioneer Quilts based on my kaleidoscope quilt that is published as a pattern in Marti Michell's book Kaleidoscope ABC's. We had such a good time learning how to use Marti's Kaleido-Ruler making it much easier to complete the blocks.
Last week Darlene brought her quilt top in for me to finish for her. I thought you might enjoy seeing the "after class" tutorial I put together for the girls and how great Darlene's quilt looks. The "after class" tutorial is to serve as a reminder filled with those little class details, tips, and tricks we tend to forget the day after class ... but we still have more blocks to piece.
When I made my quilt, I used strips and scraps from a country red and blue exchange from a couple of summers ago. As you can see, this quilt works great as a scrappy stash buster and I love the circular motion created by the block units as your eye travels across the top of the quilt.

Ok - So this is going on my list of quilts I want to make before I die! Time Management has not been kind to me lately and I'm having trouble getting back into the groove. I guess housework has to take a backseat to quilting right now! I'm glad you're home. See you at the end of the month. Pat did great at last months meeting.

You will love making this quilt. I have one going in 30's now - totally scrappy. You'll have to see it when you come for Al's class. And ... I put your name in the hat for this month's drawing!
