First quilt top for April 2026...................


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...;)))
Our 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!

For 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!

I see a twisted ribbons sailing through your maze of a field of magnificent colorful fabrics. This one is another of your beauties Wanda.
