I was shopping the IDEA store here in town with some quilting friends, and came across a UFO that I snatched up. It had about 70 blocks in batiks done, but some of the blocks were needing some re-sewing to fix some puckers, etc. I picked up the whole thing for less than $10 (!). The picture here is of blocks that either needed re-sewing, or I put together with the included scraps. I put the rest of the blocks in the hands of our quilt group leader--we will probably try to put it together as a charity quilt while on retreat next week.
And this is my first attempt at a Ricky Tims style kaleidoscope quilt. It was a ton of fun to make! I learned a lot while making this with scraps/stash fabric, and am really looking forward to making one with some seriously beautiful batiks from Threads.. and if it comes out well, it will adorn Dan's office.
Those blocks were a real find! It's a great design and in batiks no less. And you know I love the kaleidoscope. :)
