Kaleidoscopes
I hate to make something more than once. But this quilt pattern is the exception to that practice. In a 1985 McCall's Needlework and Crafts Magazine I found a quilt pattern called Kaleidoscope. I have made it four times. It is interesting to compare them side by side.
I made the first quilt just like the pattern.
It is actually a wallhanging that is 48" square.

For this one I reduced the pattern pieces by half.
I made this quilt as a fabric challenge.
If memory serves I did get viewer's choice.

Kaleidoscope 3 was completed in 1991. I don't
remember the occasion for making it unless it was
just to try it again with different fabrics.

This last 24" Kaleidoscope like the others was
hand pieced and hand quilted. It was made
for a fabric challenge in the summer of 2008.
