Last Saturday I took a quilting class @ Fabric Crush in Seattle. The Class was on how to make kaleidoscope quilts.
The class was excellent! There was just me and one other student so we had lots of space and hands on help from the instructor, who was very kind.
I am so inspired to finish the quilt I started. Even though it is my third quilt, I have a feeling it will be the first one I finish.
These are the blocks I've cut so far.

These are the blocks I've cut so far.While we were at the store, we had the opportunity to make use of their Design Wall (by Fons & Porter). It is a felt sheet 60in wide x 72 inches long with grommets along the top to make it easy to hang. The felt is backed with Vinyl that has a 2 inch grid pattern on it to help you place your fabric.
This tool made it really quick & easy to play with orientation of fabrics to decide on the best kaleidoscope for each block. I had planned to hang up a sheet at home as a design wall & use pins to keep the fabric in place. I'm so glad I found this instead. No pins needed! I bought one at the store & put up in my craft area yesterday.
