Thank you for visiting Quilt Moments’ blog. I am thrilled that my block appears in the new Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Volume 7 hitting newsstands May 7th and it’s fun to be part of the blog tour. Today I’ll share some ideas on how to use my block and give you a chance to win several goodies. Keep reading to the end to see what you could win!
My block, Kaleidoscope Star #664, is shown on page 53 of the magazine. I love using large print fabrics in my quilts and often put what I call “4-patch kaleidoscopes” in my block centers.
I made the block using the Love Flows collection designed by Jan Douglas for Maywood Studio. Here are some images of what 5 blocks set on point look like for a 40″ x 40″ tabletopper / wallhanging.
First, here’s what the quilt looks like using the same fabrics shown in the block above.
Next, here is the same setting using brown instead of cream for the background, and changing some of the fabric positions.
Now let’s see the block in a different fabric collection, Garden of Enchantment by Maywood Studio.
The large print shown on the border is what is used for all the 4-patch block centers.
I have many patterns and a book featuring this easy technique which you can see on my website, but
here are the construction highlights:
1) Cut or rip a piece of large print fabric containing at least 4 fabric repeats lengthwise down the middle and save one of these pieces for the wide borders
2) Cut out and layer four identical pieces of the fabric following the design repeat and pin around the perimeter with flathead pins carefully capturing the same motif through all fabric layers
3) Rotary cut strip sets 3-1/2” wide and then sub-cut them into 3-1/2” square sets.
4) Take a square set, and rotate the four identical squares to create a 4-patch kaleidoscope. There are four different rotation options so have fun choosing your favorite look!
Have fun choosing a large print to make your own block. Florals work great, but you can also have fun using novelty prints and kids’ prints.
I was so inspired by the Love Flows fabric collection while working on my block submission that I made a twin size version of my Trellis Garden (QM116) pattern with the fabric and updated my pattern cover to feature the fabric as shown below.
Here is an image of a queen size quilt using my Kaleidoscope Symphony design and the Maywood Studio’s Garden of Enchantment fabric line that I showed you above. Adding easy “4-patch kaleidoscopes” to the center of blocks is a fun way to spice up your blocks so give it a try!
Now for the goodies. Leave a comment on this post by midnight Friday, May 3rd, for a chance to win a copy of the new Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Volume 7 magazine, a Quilt Moments’ pattern, or my Kaleidoscope Symphony book. Tell me what pattern you would like to win (you can see all of them on my website).
Then remember to visit Quiltmaker and all the other blogs for more entertainment and chances to win prizes.
Enjoy all your quilt moments!

April 29, 2013 at 1:41 am |
I just finished Entwined and I am working on Ribbon Rings. I think I will definitely do both again. I would like to have Candy Jar or Changing Ways. I love your patterns.
April 29, 2013 at 1:43 am |
I love the Kaleidoscope block and the quilts you show that are made with that type of block are stunning. I would love to win your Kaleidoscope Symphony book!
April 29, 2013 at 2:59 am |
Candy Jar is one of my favorites. Thanks for the giveaway!
April 29, 2013 at 4:46 am |

Love how you use the kaleidoscope in the center of your block! Would love to win a copy of your book!
April 29, 2013 at 6:23 am |
I like the effect of the repeat in your blocks.
April 29, 2013 at 6:31 am |

April 29, 2013 at 6:34 am |
ik hou van caleidoscoop quilts

April 29, 2013 at 6:38 am |
Keyboard is a great pattern. I guess I need to try kaleidoscope blocks, they are great!
April 29, 2013 at 6:48 am |
Love your block and your patterns! My favorite is Trellis Garden, just beautiful!
April 29, 2013 at 6:49 am |
Very hard to choose just 1 pattern. Would have to say Trellis Garden would be my pick. Thanks for the chance to win.
April 29, 2013 at 7:10 am |
The Blog Hop is off to a great start with this! Love the idea of the Kaleidoscope effect at the center of the block and the design versatility created by color placement. I also see potential in the five-block set as a medallion quilt center.
Pattern I’d love to win? Celebration!
April 29, 2013 at 7:17 am |
I like your pattern “Celebration.” Kaleidoscope Star #664 is lovely and seems to be very versatile.
April 29, 2013 at 7:30 am |
I settled on ring toss, but they are all so lovely, thanks for giveaway.
April 29, 2013 at 7:31 am |
I’ve been fascinated by your kaleidoscope technique since the first time I saw it. Now I can’t remember for sure, but I think it was on “The Quilt Show”. This block is gorgeous and I love the changes that occur because of your choice in fabric placement. You have so many great patterns but “Keyboard Kaleidoscope” is at the top of the list. I would so love to have your Kaleidescope book, too!!
April 29, 2013 at 7:32 am |
That’s a lovely block and a lovely layout
April 29, 2013 at 7:32 am |
Your block and quilt are lovely! I would love to win either Kaleidoscope Symphony or Blossom Bliss. Thanks for the chance to win.
April 29, 2013 at 7:38 am |
Really hard to choose a favorite because I really like the twister patterns but have them already and I like the Ribbon Rings but also have that one so…my favorite right now from your website would have to be Tilt-a-Whirl! Thanks for sharing!
April 29, 2013 at 7:40 am |
What a prolific designer! I considered Check Out the Stars, but I think I would choose Ribbon Rings. Lovely patterns, I love your 4-patch kaleidoscope style.
April 29, 2013 at 7:42 am |
I really am drawn to the Check Out the Stars pattern, so much movement and excitement.
Thank you!
April 29, 2013 at 7:49 am |
Great block – thank you for the tutorial !!
My favourite pattern is Ribbon Rings!
April 29, 2013 at 7:54 am |
Love the block! I can’t wait to see this latest edition of 100 Blocks. I’m always inspired by the creativity. Thanks!
April 29, 2013 at 7:57 am |
Gorgeous blocks you are truly talented with your use of color and design. So many wonderful patterns it is difficult to choose but love the Twilight Kaleidoscope. The colors are so dramatic.
April 29, 2013 at 8:02 am |
Your Kaleidoscope Symphony book and the Treasure Trove pattern would be very welcome additions to my trove of goodies! Your new block is gorgeous and I love how it looks in the quilt using Maywood’s Garden of Enchantment.
April 29, 2013 at 8:09 am |
I love the kaleidoscoping in your blocks!! I think my fave shown here is the first one with the cream option. Sooooo pretty! Thanks for the opportunity to win a magazine—I absolutely love 100 Block mags….they just feed my imagination!!
April 29, 2013 at 8:15 am |
thanks for the opportunity to win.. Treasure trove has to be my favorite..
April 29, 2013 at 8:20 am |
Your block is ingenious! I have wanted to make the Kensington kaleidoscope for years!
April 29, 2013 at 8:26 am |
What a fantastic block. You have shown us a table topper/wallhanging and a queen-sized quilt. You make it look so easy and looks so beautiful when done. Thank you for sharing and giving all of us a chance to win a copy of QM 100 Blocks, Volume 7. I would be so happy to win a copy of your book for myself. This is quite the gift to win and I know I would treasure this forever.

April 29, 2013 at 8:28 am |
Really beautiful block and designs!
April 29, 2013 at 8:44 am |
Oh gosh, how to pick a favorite, when they’re all so gorgeous? Trellis Garden, maybe?
April 29, 2013 at 8:47 am |
I really like the starlight pattern. I even have a cute panel to put in the middle.
April 29, 2013 at 8:51 am |
Your block is beautiful for the Volume 7 issue.
Choosing a pattern is tough because you have designed some gorgeous quilt designs. I am having a tough time choosing between Triple Twister (QM127) and Twister Illusions (QM131) as they are both great. I think if lucky enough to win, I’d choose the Triple Twister pattern.
Thank you and congratulation for being chosen for this issue.
April 29, 2013 at 8:52 am |
I love the movement in the kaleidoscope blocks! You have so many beautiful patterns, it was hard to choose just one…but I think I like Celebration! Thank you for the chances to win…and congrats on being in the 100!
April 29, 2013 at 8:59 am |
I have used your patterns before and I love them, so unique and
fun. It is such a hard decision, as to my favorite, but I would have
to say the Triple Twister, as I have the template, and have not
found a pattern that I would use to use it. Love your kalidescope
patterns, and thanks for the chance to win!
April 29, 2013 at 9:02 am |
I love the versatility of Starlight!
April 29, 2013 at 9:02 am |
Nice block. Changing Ways sounds good.
April 29, 2013 at 9:05 am |
I just took a real quick look through your patterns before I head off to work. Way too many good ones to pick a favorite, but one that really caught my eye is Twilight Kaleidoscope.
April 29, 2013 at 9:14 am |
I really like tilt a whirl if I had to choose I like them all
April 29, 2013 at 9:18 am |
I think Ribbon Rings is my favourite.
April 29, 2013 at 9:27 am |
I like so many of your patterns, but since I just bought a twister ruler, I think I’d pick Triple Twister.
April 29, 2013 at 9:31 am |
I enjoyed looking at all our patterns and love many of them. I am loving the Triple Twister, it looks so versatile and has so much energy!!!
April 29, 2013 at 9:33 am |
My goodness, I’m so glad I decided to check out all these blogs. I just love your four patch kaleidoscopes and so love your Twilight Kaleidoscope pattern, but was also VERY taken with the Celebrations pattern. Must come back later and have a really good look.
April 29, 2013 at 9:33 am |
Using a 4 patch kaleidoscope is a great idea. I also love the Metro pattern on your website. It has a modern feel.
April 29, 2013 at 9:34 am |
Tilt-a-Whirl looks like great fun. Thanks for the chance to win!
April 29, 2013 at 9:36 am |

Love Trellis Garden and the bold fabrics. A great pattern to use those beautiful large print fabrics
April 29, 2013 at 9:48 am |

April 29, 2013 at 10:08 am |

April 29, 2013 at 10:50 am |
Your block and quilt are so pretty! I like the Blossom Bliss.
April 29, 2013 at 10:50 am |
I love the block you designed. I have always wanted to try making a kaleidoscope type design but they always look so complicated. Your patterns look like it would be simple and yet get a beautiful effect! I would love a copy of your book or I also love your Twilight Kaleidoscope pattern and Trellis Garden pattern. Beautiful!
April 29, 2013 at 10:54 am |
Your design using kaleidoscopes in the block center is very clever. It gives a traditional looking block a very contemporary feel. I especially like your patterns Step into the Ring and Celebration with Stonehenge!
April 29, 2013 at 10:56 am |
Thank you for sharing your quilt block and different ideas. They are all so beautiful. Not sure which one I like the best.
April 29, 2013 at 10:58 am |
I love all your patterns, so which one to choose?? Trellis Garden is wonderful and the use of the colors is beautiful.
April 29, 2013 at 10:58 am |
Trellis Garden is lovely – I love how you’ve integrated kaleidoscope blocks into so many different block settings.
April 29, 2013 at 10:58 am |
i loved your Kaleidoscope block and i like it best in Garden of Enchantment by Maywood Studio.
April 29, 2013 at 10:58 am |
I would be entranced with the kaleidoscope designs. I just love the surprise of each one.
April 29, 2013 at 10:59 am |
Congrats on being selected for QM’s 100 Blocks. You have so many beautiful patterns, it was hard to decide, Metro or Starlight
April 29, 2013 at 11:00 am |
Wow. so many lovely patterns. My choice would be Ribbon Rings, although it wasn’t easy to decide.
April 29, 2013 at 11:03 am |
I have always liked your twilight kaleidoscope pattern. The jewel tones and black are eye catching.
April 29, 2013 at 11:03 am |
I’ve always loved Check Out the Stars and, oddly, I don’t own a copy of the pattern. Your block is so elegant–can’t wait for the magazine!
April 29, 2013 at 11:05 am |
What a unique idea to use a kaleidoscope for a block center! I will definitely have to try that.
April 29, 2013 at 11:09 am |
I started writing down all the patterns I liked. It’s quite a list. I’m afraid I can’t narrow it down to just one. So, I closed my eyes and picked one. QM112, Metro. It looks like fractured diamonds. I really like the 4 patch kaleidoscope technique.
April 29, 2013 at 11:10 am |
Trellis Garden Pattern please, I love the way it looks. Also I love the deep green and burgandy of your featured block.
April 29, 2013 at 11:16 am |
Love your block! Thanks for the giveaways! I’d choose Trellis Garden.
April 29, 2013 at 11:17 am |
I love the Kaleidoscope block and the awesome colored you used. Thanks for sharing.
April 29, 2013 at 11:17 am |
You have so many wonderful patterns. I kept changing my mind when i would see a new one. But the twister illusions was just terrific. I have really liked seeing those quilts made with those techniques so I guess that would be my favorite. COngratulations on having your block in the magazine. Very pretty block and I love all the different ways you used it.
April 29, 2013 at 11:18 am |
Wow! So many pretty squares to pick just one as a favorite. I did like the kaleidoscope star #664 a lot. New to quilting and always something to aspire to.
April 29, 2013 at 11:22 am |
The Kaleidoscope Symphony is wonderful! Love the use of the patterns rather than just the colors for the fabric. I really like the Trellis design.
April 29, 2013 at 11:22 am |
I’d love a copy of the Kaleidoscope Symphony quilt. It is a really terrific quilt
April 29, 2013 at 11:22 am |
I love the way you bring out the colours using these blocks, the first one works great duplicated and I love the way the purple and green looks with the floral material and then the way it works in the trellis pattern is fab. I also really like the last one which then incorporates a few of your designs and I like to use varied blocks when I make quilts and for this reason I would like to win your kaleidoscope book please if I am chosen
April 29, 2013 at 11:25 am |
blossum bliss. Great block! Congrats on getting in the magazine!
April 29, 2013 at 11:27 am |

Beautiful! Very creative.
April 29, 2013 at 11:33 am |

April 29, 2013 at 11:38 am |
Kaleidescope Symphony is stunning!
April 29, 2013 at 11:40 am |
Garden Enchantment is my favorite and I especially love the use of the Brown fabric for the background. Makes your blocks stand out and a very striking setting…….does so much justice to the fabric collection.
April 29, 2013 at 11:42 am |
Hard to choose, but I really like the Clare’s Garden quilt.
April 29, 2013 at 11:43 am |

April 29, 2013 at 11:56 am |
I forgot all aboit time looking at all your beautiful patterns on your web site. I think I like the Starlight the best – but the longer I looked the more I changed my mond. I would be thrilled with any of them. (Not too complicated please – I am fairly new!!)
Thank you!
PS 5/3 is my birthday – would be a nice gift!! 🙂
April 29, 2013 at 12:03 pm |
I love all your patterns, but to pick just one… #QM101 Kensington Kaleidoscope, that one shows of your 4-patch center the best, I think. It would be nice to win it.
April 29, 2013 at 12:04 pm |
I love the kaleidoscope made with Love Flower, using the cream background.
April 29, 2013 at 12:09 pm |
I just love Kaleidoscope Symphony. What a great block!
April 29, 2013 at 12:10 pm |
I really love the Kaleidoscope Star #664 in your color pallet of the greens and reds. Thanks for the chance to win.
April 29, 2013 at 12:10 pm |
The 4-patch kaleidoscope blocks are terrific. You’ve given me some ideas for projects to use leftover blocks from earlier quilts. My pattern pick would be Kensington Kaleidoscope.
April 29, 2013 at 12:11 pm |
Charming Turnover Stars is my favorite, though it was hard to choose. Thanks for your giveaway.
April 29, 2013 at 12:13 pm |
I love all the Kaleidoscope patterns! I have done a simple kaleidoscope block before, but these are amazing. I think the Kensington Kaleidoscope is my favorite.
April 29, 2013 at 12:13 pm |
Love your block and all your patterns. Hard to pick just one I will go with Elegance.
April 29, 2013 at 12:16 pm |
I like Kaleidoscope Symphony
April 29, 2013 at 12:22 pm |
The Kaleidoscope block is beautiful!
April 29, 2013 at 12:23 pm |

I love the Ribbon Ring patterns!
April 29, 2013 at 12:26 pm |
I love your block. It is beautiful. Belle Kaleidoscope is the pattern I would like to win. I love the colors.
April 29, 2013 at 12:27 pm |
Wow! Marilyn. That Tilt-a-Whirl looks simple enough for me! I also love the Twister as I just bought a template on a Shop Hop. Thanks for the opportunity to win some great inspiration.
April 29, 2013 at 12:28 pm |
Lovely block. I’ve seen some of your designs before–maybe on The Quilt Show.com. Love your Belle Kaleidoscope pattern–here’s hoping I win.
April 29, 2013 at 12:30 pm |
All of your patterns are lovely, but I think I like the Ring Toss one best. I definitely want to try your kaleidoscope technique!
April 29, 2013 at 12:31 pm |
Great block! I like your triple twister. I just recently bought the

April 29, 2013 at 6:30 pm |

It was so hard to choose. Finally narrowed it down to five and of
those five, chose Elegance
April 29, 2013 at 6:40 pm |
Love that you use the 4 patch in the center. It makes the block unique! Love the Trellis Garden pattern the best, but they all are great.

April 29, 2013 at 8:44 pm |
I totally love your use of a kaleidoscope in the middle of your block. What a great way to use a large print fabric.
April 29, 2013 at 8:49 pm |

April 29, 2013 at 8:55 pm |
One of the things I like about this blog hop, is the exposure to designers that I am not familiar with. I am pleased to know how you make the 4 kaleidoscope. Hard to pick a favorite pattern — they all appealed to me, but … Keyboard Kaleidoscope would be my first choice.
April 29, 2013 at 8:55 pm |
Tilt A Whirl and Candy Jar are both beautiful!! I love them both!
April 29, 2013 at 8:58 pm |

Love the block.
April 29, 2013 at 9:26 pm |
If I had to choose just one pattern, it would have to be Trellis Garden.
April 29, 2013 at 9:27 pm |
Lots of ideas for my orphaned kaleidoscope blocks. Thank you.
April 29, 2013 at 9:29 pm |
Beautiful – I love all the versions of this pattern!
April 29, 2013 at 9:36 pm |
I love the spinning quilts at the top of this page with all the color and movement.
April 29, 2013 at 9:44 pm |

Such a creative design! Thank you for sharing with us. 🙂
April 29, 2013 at 9:58 pm |
I’m so glad to see a block using four patch posies! If I won a pattern, I would choose Starlight. It is gorgeous, with so many possibilities.
April 29, 2013 at 10:02 pm |
Like the quilt with the brown background. Also really like the Kaleidoscope Symphony quilt.
April 29, 2013 at 10:03 pm |
I have made and taught several of your patterns. I really enjoy the process and find it to be addicting! I look forward to making this block!
April 29, 2013 at 10:07 pm |

Love the Kaleidoscope Block you have designed and in the Love Flows with cream background fabric line. I have seen this block in another fabric line and colorway and loved it there as well. What a wonderful,versatile block. Just beautiful.
April 29, 2013 at 10:58 pm |
I’d love to win your “Kaleidoscope Symphony” book. I’ve seen it and it’s too fantastic. Didn’t buy it when I should have and now I can’t find it.

Neat block, thanks for the giveaway
April 29, 2013 at 11:02 pm |

I love your kaleidoscope block, so I would love to win your “Kaleidoscope Symphony” book.
April 29, 2013 at 11:06 pm |
I really loved the Kaleidoscope Block with the Garden of Enchantment fabrics.
April 29, 2013 at 11:15 pm |
Kaleidoscope Star is a stunning block. It was very hard to choose one of your patterns they are all beautiful. My favorite would have to be Kensington Kaleidoscope.
April 29, 2013 at 11:20 pm |
Oh, how gorgeous! I’ve been wanting to make a quilt from a large repeating design. I even have a piece of fabric for it. It is difficult to choose from your generous choices. My first choice would be the book. However, I will be thrilled to win any one of them. Thank you for the giveaway.
April 29, 2013 at 11:21 pm |
Was really hard to choose a pattern, because they are all delightful. I like QM109 Celebration the best.
April 29, 2013 at 11:21 pm |
I liked the Kaleidoscope Twilight pattern.
April 29, 2013 at 11:27 pm |
I have admired kaleidoscope patterns for years, but never been brave enough to give it a go! Your Block is beautiful and the colours you use are stunning. Looking at your patterns, including table runners has really “wet my appetite”. My favourite pattern would be the Keyboard kaleidescope I love centre medallions. thank you for the inspiration!
April 29, 2013 at 11:27 pm |
I’d like to make the Tilt a Whirl pattern, please.
April 30, 2013 at 12:03 am |
I LOVE Check Out The Stars – just the sort of wild and crazy look I love. Thanks for the chance to win.
April 30, 2013 at 12:22 am |
I really like the a triple Twister pattern.
April 30, 2013 at 12:39 am |
I’ve debated buying the tilt-a-whirl in the past. I don’t remember if I’ve purchased it yet. I would have to select Metro because I really like the variety of size choices.
April 30, 2013 at 12:52 am |
Would love a copy of your Kaleidoscope Symphony book, have added it to my list. I love working with kaleidoscope blocks and mirror image blocks (4-patch kaleidoscope). Never thought about using for Twister blocks, will have to give Triple Twister a try. Of all your patterns my favorite is Trellis Garden.
April 30, 2013 at 1:09 am |
I would love to win Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Volume 7 magazine so I could have all the wonderful blocks from everyone. You have many beautiful Kaleidoscope patterns on your web site. I also love your Twister patterns and your Check Out The Stars Pattern.
April 30, 2013 at 1:46 am |

April 30, 2013 at 2:01 am |
I am a quilter from New Zealand. There were so many beautiful patterns on your web site it was difficult to choose my favourite. love you kaleidoscope block and especially the lovely vibrant colours you use. My favourite pattern is trellis garden
April 30, 2013 at 2:01 am |
Your block and patterns are beautiful! I love the Kensington Kaleidoscope pattern.
April 30, 2013 at 2:15 am |
Very pretty block. Thanks for the chance!
April 30, 2013 at 2:59 am |

April 30, 2013 at 3:03 am |
What a lovely Star Block. With each version it looks like a new block altogether.
April 30, 2013 at 4:51 am |
Just looked at all your patterns. You are one talented lady? I love the trellis garden and the step into the ring. You sure make kaleidoscopic look easy. I’d love to win one of your patterns. Thanks for the opportunity.
April 30, 2013 at 4:52 am |
That was supposed to be an explanation mark behind lady, not a question. Sorry.
April 30, 2013 at 5:21 am |
I love the Trellis Garden Pattern. Very unique.
April 30, 2013 at 5:39 am |
Very creative…I love the Kaliedoscope Symphony pattern. I need to try your twister ruler, I have it, just haven’t gotten to it!
April 30, 2013 at 5:49 am |
Starlight! Gorgeous pattern! I would love to make it for Christmas!
April 30, 2013 at 6:03 am |
I had a head-slap moment when I saw your 100-blocks design. Four-patch square kailedoscopes! I’ve seen them as hexies anad other multi-sided shapes but never squares. I can do that. Guess what I’m off to do right now!
But not before drooling of the Turning Point pattern…
April 30, 2013 at 6:13 am |
Very cool block.
April 30, 2013 at 6:34 am |
I loved your kaliedoscope block, so if I winn I would like a copy of your book.
April 30, 2013 at 6:41 am |
love the combination of twisties and squares…….love your designs……keep having fun!
April 30, 2013 at 6:56 am |
I like your square version better than the stack and whack version. This I might try with guidance.
April 30, 2013 at 7:13 am |
Your block is so pretty, I like your Check out the Stars pattern, it’s beautiful. Thanks
April 30, 2013 at 7:27 am |
Twilight Kaleidoscope pattern. I love your choice of colors too.
April 30, 2013 at 7:31 am |

April 30, 2013 at 8:34 am |

April 30, 2013 at 8:49 am |
I would love to try the Tilt-A-Whirl pattern. Thanks for the chance to win!
April 30, 2013 at 8:51 am |

April 30, 2013 at 8:54 am |
I really liked Elegance. Thanks for the chance to win. Your site is great.
April 30, 2013 at 8:57 am |
What a nice block. I really like the tilt a whirl pattern.
April 30, 2013 at 9:34 am |
Just beautiful
April 30, 2013 at 9:39 am |
the Twilight Kaleidoscope really speaks to me – I’m under it’s spell!
April 30, 2013 at 9:44 am |
WOW! I love your kaleidoscope patterns. My favorite is Elegance. I like the way the little pinwheels kind of make it sparkle.
April 30, 2013 at 9:53 am |
I love the movement of the fabric in the quilts!
April 30, 2013 at 10:07 am |
All your patterns are great. I’d be happy to win any of them. Thanks
April 30, 2013 at 10:10 am |
I’m so happy to have found your patterns! I’d be happy to win any of them, but today Ring Toss really caught my attention!
April 30, 2013 at 10:10 am |
I like Celebration! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
April 30, 2013 at 10:13 am |
Your kaleidoscope star is very pretty! You have so many beautiful patterns on your website. If I were to win I would choose the Kensington kaleidoscope pattern.
April 30, 2013 at 10:18 am |
Love the patterns! Ribbon Rings in my fave and I’m bookmarking your site to get it. Love all the Kaleidoscope movement, it’s something I haven’t tried yet.
April 30, 2013 at 10:47 am |
I just love the effect of the Kaleidescope on these blocks. Who would every thought that this could be done. Beautiful, just love them. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
April 30, 2013 at 10:49 am |
Symphony quilt is in my favorite colors
April 30, 2013 at 10:50 am |
GREAT block! I particularly liked it set in the brown background — very striking! 🙂
April 30, 2013 at 10:52 am |
What beautiful quilt blocks! So many times it’s a challenge to find a way to incorporate large scale prints into a quilt project. Your approach is fabulous! Can’t wait to give it a whirl!
Thanks for the inspiration – –
Jane
April 30, 2013 at 11:07 am |
So many choices! But I really liked Ring Toss.
April 30, 2013 at 11:13 am |
How does one choose what block to make next:) oh what fun it will be.
April 30, 2013 at 11:13 am |
I love Kaleidoscope Symphony!
April 30, 2013 at 11:24 am |
i love them all, bit i would love to win twilight kaleidoscope!
April 30, 2013 at 11:55 am |
I love the kalidescope block!
April 30, 2013 at 12:07 pm |
Twilight Kaleidoscope is also my choice for a pattern. All your blocks are lovely.
April 30, 2013 at 12:44 pm |
These colors remind me of English garden prints, with a twist. I can think of a few family members that would LOVE these!
April 30, 2013 at 12:45 pm |
Kaleidoscope Symphony is my favourite. I made a 4-patch kaleidoscope by accident once, but hadn’t thought to plan for them!
April 30, 2013 at 1:11 pm |
You’ve made so many wonderful patterns, but I think I like tilt-a-whirl best. I’ve only done one kaleidoscope quilt & it’s still in my UFO pile, but you patterns are very inspirational.
April 30, 2013 at 1:34 pm |
Love yoKaleidoscope Star block! Would be thrilled to win any of your patterns but your book would be my first choice
April 30, 2013 at 1:46 pm |
It’s a very hard decision of which pattern I would like to win. The table topper is wonderful. But my first choice is the Queen sized Garden of Enchantment floral. You do great inspiring work!
April 30, 2013 at 2:11 pm |
I love your Triple Twister. I have the Lil Twister template but haven’t tried it yet. Your pattern is just wonderful.
April 30, 2013 at 2:21 pm |
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions and the winner is Changing Ways. Patterns *& book are great. Thanks.
April 30, 2013 at 2:25 pm |
I love your Celebration pattern for Stonehenge fabrics. I realize that Stonehenge has been designed for use as an accessory with many fabric lines, but I really enjoy using it on it’s own. I think it has a richness that is very grand.
April 30, 2013 at 2:25 pm |
I’ve known for awhile that when you want your borders you should cut the length of them first, but splitting the fabric down the middle is great. Now I can cut correctly for them and fear being short.
April 30, 2013 at 2:28 pm |
Ooooh, pretty! I love Ribbon Rings and Entwined and Celebration. 😀
April 30, 2013 at 2:57 pm |
Love seeing the way the design looks in the differing colorways. That is always fascinating to me.. ( and informative)
April 30, 2013 at 3:12 pm |
Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the new 100 Blocks. I love your patterns; Twister Illusion is currently on my to-do list!
April 30, 2013 at 3:44 pm |
Soooo hard to choose…but, I love the pattern: Check out the Stars!!! Love the color choices as well…:) Thanks!!
April 30, 2013 at 3:59 pm |
I love the twisters. I have checked them out at keepsake quilting. Would love to win the bundle! Thanks for the opportunity!
April 30, 2013 at 4:24 pm |
I love the Kaleidoscope block, the colors selected are beautiful too!
April 30, 2013 at 5:41 pm |
Dear Marilyn, Your Kaleidoscope Symphony Book would be wonderful to win! All of your patterns are so pretty. Thank-you
April 30, 2013 at 5:48 pm |
I love Check out the Stars!
April 30, 2013 at 6:57 pm |
I’d love to receive your “Kaleidoscope Symphony” book. I’ve used the four-patch kaleidoscope block in several quilts; I love it and it’s so much fun to make. Your patterns, however, take this great block to another level entirely. Thanks for participating in the Blog Hop. I’m so glad I was directed to your site
April 30, 2013 at 7:18 pm |
I currently have my Belle Kaliedoscope entered in the Sauder Village Quilt Show in Archbold, Ohio. I loved the pattern and my quilt turned out so nice I was encouraged By many people to enter it in the show. It’s my first entry in a show and I’m very proud of it. I would love to do another Kaliedoscope block quilt. I would love the Kaliedoscope Symphony pattern if I’m chosen. Thank you and keep the great patterns coming.
April 30, 2013 at 7:24 pm |
Love the purple and green fabrics together.
April 30, 2013 at 7:43 pm |
I am fasinated by some of your versions of your block.
April 30, 2013 at 8:22 pm |
Fun patterns! I’d like to try Turning Point or Tilt-A-Whirl.
April 30, 2013 at 8:58 pm |
Love your block….I really enjoyed looking at your patterns. I think that Twilight Kaleidoscope is my favorite.
April 30, 2013 at 9:05 pm |
Just LOVE the Tilt-A-Whirl block. It has such a contemporary look. I could totally see this integrated with my Kaffe Fassett and other bright fabrics. Thanks for creating these wonderful blocks!
April 30, 2013 at 9:45 pm |
Wow what a lot of great patterns. I had a hard time picking just one, but I think I would like to win the triple twister pattern. Your lock is really great and I like the different examples in the post.
April 30, 2013 at 10:11 pm |
Absolutely LOVE this block. Thanks for showing the different color ways.
April 30, 2013 at 10:44 pm |
Kaleidoscopes are so much fun
April 30, 2013 at 10:50 pm |
Starlight would be the pattern for me! Thanks for allowing me an opportunity for one of your patterns. Sandi
April 30, 2013 at 10:51 pm |
Love all of your patterns … but afraid they are above my skill level. I really like the very elegant trellis garden, but the Triple twister, I think is the one for me.
April 30, 2013 at 11:02 pm |
Love your block 🙂
April 30, 2013 at 11:18 pm |
Oh wow, to choose just one is very difficult, beautiful patterns, but as someone else said they are above my skill level even though I just started quilting and am working on an intermediate level pattern. If I did have to choose just one it would be Ribbon Rings, but I like Catch Me as well. Thanks for the giveaway!
April 30, 2013 at 11:38 pm |
Among the Stars or Metro, but what a difficult choice.
April 30, 2013 at 11:57 pm |
Like the Kaleidoscope Star block, and the Tilt-A-Whirl pattern looks fun!
May 1, 2013 at 2:12 am |
Tilt A whirl or Check Out the Stars would best suit my skill level. Your purples in the new block are so vibrant. Congratulations on the design.
May 1, 2013 at 8:54 am |
It is a very nice block. It looks like it would be fun to make
May 1, 2013 at 12:19 pm |
Congrats on having your block in a national magazine! It’s a winner!
May 1, 2013 at 4:45 pm |
your block was amazing, what an honor!
May 1, 2013 at 6:21 pm |
I really like your block and the wall hanging using the Love Flows collection where you used cream for the background. I have several large print fabrics in stash that I received as a gift. As yet, I haven’t found something I want to use them on. I think using your “4-patch kaleidoscopes” in my block centers and borders would make a beautiful quilt. I would love to win Vol 7 of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks!
May 1, 2013 at 8:52 pm |
Awesome! Love your block.
May 1, 2013 at 9:40 pm |
Love love your block. Congrats for getting in issue #7. Thanks for the chance to win this issue. So looking forward to getting the magazine so I can make your block.
May 2, 2013 at 8:14 am |
I have never attempted the kaleidoscope pattern but reading through your posting has certainly peaked my interest. I would try any of your patterns – they are all so beautiful!
May 2, 2013 at 9:29 am |
Love the colors in the kaleidoscope block!
May 2, 2013 at 12:04 pm |
I just love the kaleidoscope star, and especially the purple quilt
May 2, 2013 at 5:19 pm |
Such beautiful blocks! I have your kit for the Garden of Enchantment quilt but have not started it yet. Every time I see it it still takes my breath away! Your Kaleidoscope Symphony Book would be a lovely addition to my books. I also really love the pattern Elegance #QM121. I am also a lover of large prints. They get swallowed up in some patterns but your patterns make them just say WOW. I have a Quilt Moments Brochure and also really love the pattern that says its on the back of the book – MQ501. Loved your presentation at our guild meeting.
May 2, 2013 at 8:44 pm |
Thanks for the chane to win. I really like your Elegance pattern.
May 2, 2013 at 9:37 pm |
You are a pattern designing SUPERSTAR!!! They are amazing. I love Starlight, with Ringtoss a strong second. They are all wonderful! Kudos to you on your block for the issue!!
May 3, 2013 at 6:45 am |
Just GORGEOUS! I’m not sure which prize I would choose, what a dilemma!!
May 3, 2013 at 12:44 pm |
wow, what dramatic settings for this intricate block
May 5, 2013 at 5:19 pm |
I love all of your patterns. The way you make the center block is so pretty. I would like to win all of them but I would like Turning Point. It is so cool. I love your block. Thank you!
April 29, 2014 at 8:39 pm |
i like your trellis garden pattern … gorgeous! thanx for the chance to win your pattern.
April 30, 2014 at 5:26 pm |
I used to do the ‘Stack N Whack’ patterns, but have just found this 4 block set and am anxious to get going on it. I bought some beautiful fabric today and excited about this new way to do the kaleidoscope. I really like your pattern Kaleidoscope Star #664 and thank you for an opportunity to take a chance on winning one.
