I took the three sections to the basement and gave all of them a final pressing. There are different lights down there so the color looks a little different from previous photos.
Then I started working on the Kaleidoscope blocks using the same triangles of Marcia Derse fabrics.
I got 6 blocks completed before I ran out of corner pieces but got 2 more blocks partially made before I also ran out of variety of the tall triangles.
This is all that was left when I finished sewing last night. Today I'll be cutting more pieces of both shaped triangles.
I pressed the 5 blocks I made a few days ago and added them to the 12 that were on the design wall. I brought them all up to the main floor studio and when starting to put them on the design wall, I found another layout for the blocks. With this arrangement I could have an uneven number of blocks in both directions.
Here are the 2 layouts. Now I'm thinking I need to make one quilt of each layout. Maybe the second quilt will be with a different group of fabrics.
wow serious temptation here with those kaleidoscope blocks....i've a healthy kaffe stash....
ReplyDeleteThe tumbling version is really, really striking!
ReplyDeleteBoth versions are lovely, Wanda:))) You did get a lot sewn--nice works...

I really like that new layout!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those alternative layouts are fascinating.
ReplyDeleteWhat. GRAND post today Wanda ! Triangles are like sparkling gems all lined up in rows. And then adding your Kaleidoscope blocks and layouts was such a treat to see.
ReplyDeleteI really like the movement in the second layout.

I can see the difference in light on the triangles beautiful color
ReplyDeleteI love both layouts but the new one is really stunning!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, both layouts are worthy of being a quilt, lol. The new layout is reminiscent of a snake quilt layout.
