Half of the day is already gone... I am trying to make a pattern for my husband's quilt. I know I can't make it until Febr 14, but I want to make at least the top !
Do you remember the fabrics I want to use ?
I want to make kaleidoscopes from the striped fabric
I designed a few blocks and sketched the quilts, but I don't like any of them. Boring...

Do you know a pattern that would be perfect for my kaleidoscope squares ?
This time I have to make a quilt that I like !

Hi, I see your dilemma. Beautiful fabrics and a pattern that isn't singing to you.
Have you considered adding long triangles to the sides of the caleidoscope blocks and tilting them, so they create spirals? I can't really picture it in my head, but I think it might work.
Good luck!
How about making the squares in different sizes, Geta? Also, to get the most out of the fabric when you cut it, some blocks will have the stripe colors going in the opposite direction. So, it really won't be so boring.
Your fabrics are great - you will come up with a wonderful idea I am sure.
Wonderfulllllll !
Da, cred ca trebuie sa faci patratele neregulate ca si dimensiuni, si daca se poate si din punct de vedere coloristic. Si le imbini neregulat...Sau daca esti intr-o dispozitie cu adevarat de experiment, fa-le "wonky", adica cu borduri inegale...Materialele sunt spendide, si sunt sigura ca o sa faci ceva minunat!
I love the fabrics and you certainly have some good ideas.....can't wait to see what you come up with!!
Maybe you need to add in a really dark color to make everything "pop".
Hola, muy bonitas las ideas que nos has dado, muchas gracias, acabo de comprar tus patrones de pockets with love, me encantaron desde que los vi, espero con impaciencia que me lleguen, besos, ...
Eu as lasa mai mult spatiu intre blocurile formate din trei materiale. Adica, plastic-cromatic vorbind, as considera un fond dintr-unul din materiale, pe care as amplasa chiar si simetric, sa zicem 9 blocuri compuse din celelalte 3 materiale, dar as face fiecare din cele 9 blocuri alt pattern. In felul acesta poate s-ar detasa mai bine fiecare bloc,ele devenind subiectul compozitiei, iar variatiunile pe aceeasi tema i-ar da un motiv in plus ca privirea sa zaboveasca asupra lui.
Sper ca ai inteles ceva din tot ce am scris aici....
I don't know of a pattern for your design but I do like the colors you have chosen. I also like the block on point, it is more interesting. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

have you considered cutting the blocks in half or in quarters, diagonally, and flipping them to give a spiderweb effect?
Your fabrics are great - you will come up with a wonderful idea I am sure
