Kaleidoscope 1 top is sewn. I'm thinking of 2 and 3 so this could be a series. I won't use Marcia Derse fabric for the next 2. This one is 51.5" x 72". I ended up with the 35 blocks like I originally planned. I usually don't use the same background fabrics all through a quilt but this time I had 2 nice light ones, also Marcia Derse fabric. There are over 70 different fabrics in this quilt top.
Here are 2 of the worst matches of points. They are both about 1/16" off and I'm not going to fix them. Once it is quilted and washed, they won't be noticeable.
I noticed yesterday the start of the pink buds on the Redbud trees. It will take a couple weeks for full blooms.
Those multiple seams make point matchings so difficult--I think this turned out so beautifully, Wanda--lovely finish...;)))
ReplyDeleteOur trees are showing red buds, also--my daffodils are beginning to bloom--Spring has finally sprung--I guess this coming week will be a warmer one for us--despite the still cold ocean waters....hoping to get some outside walks.

Nice! Yes, trees are budding and the pollen is coming!
ReplyDeleteFor 1/16 of an inch I wouldn’t try to fix it either. I like that you point them out to show what is within tolerance and will not show once quilted & washed. It is a beautiful finish!
ReplyDeleteI see a twisted ribbons sailing through your maze of a field of magnificent colorful fabrics. This one is another of your beauties Wanda.
ReplyDeleteKaleidoscope 1 looks fabulous! I love the layout - I don't think I've ever seen this one before.
ReplyDeletenice to see your redbud I had forgotten that you had not showed them! Ours has been done for sometime now everything is growing in faster than normal it seems. I love the quilt it turned out great.
ReplyDeleteI have always admired your quilts using Marcia Derse fabrics but her work seemed hard to find in the UK but now a major quilt shop has cottoned on to them and I received a box of mostly plaids but some prints and am all set. Thanks for the daily exuberant colour, whether plants or fabric.
ReplyDeleteLots of seam to put together here but as you say the meeting of points in the photo here aren't going to show! The colour and the way you've worked the design has made for a an exciting quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun quilt top!
