You already know that I’m crazy about kaleidoscope quilts. My most recent effort, Cosmic Kaleidoscopes, contained five oversized kaleidoscope blocks floating on an inky background; it measured 62″ x 82″ before quilting. I wanted to try a scaled down version using softer fabrics and a light background. I sketched a design on graph paper and chose a luscious pink and green hydrangea print as my focus fabric.
The blocks are three different sizes, the largest being 20″ and the smallest 13½”. I suppose it was inevitable that I would start thinking of them as the Three Bears. Here is Papa Bear:
. . . and Mama Bear:
. . . and Baby Bear:
The next time you see these blocks, they will be in a quilt top, floating on a pale green background.
I love kaleidoscopes too, and the octagons the most. It’s beautiful. I’m teaching a class in May, and I’ll get inspiration from you. Thank you Dawn.
Beautiful!
Another visual feast! So very lovely. Thank you for sharing, Dawn.
What beautiful fabric – and on the pale green background, it will be very “spring-y”….
Love them all can’t wait to see finished product!!!
I can’t wait to see papa, mama, and baby floating on green!
[…] may recall from a recent post that I was using this fabric to make three sizes of kaleidoscope blocks that I was calling Papa […]
