Kaleidoscope QA- Cutting Day

I know it's hard to believe, but I set aside the hexie project and haven't sewn a single stitch today. Yet!

Today was cutting day for Elizabeth's Kaleidoscope Quilt Along!


My kaleidoscope will be somewhere between the two sizes she provides instructions for. I had enough background fabric for 24 blocks, just barely. I did need to piece together the extra bits for the last 5 pieces.

Stacks of pieces are so satisfying!

Visit the Flick Group to see the other amazing fabric combinations. I'm working completely from stash, so I'm a little jealous.

Purple Passion

I've jumped on the Kaleidoscope bandwagon with Elizabeth's Quilt Along at Don't Call Me Betsy.

I decided to finally use up this basket of purple fat quarters and scraps that I've had for almost 10 years!

Neatly folded = much better!

There is probably enough fabric in here to complete the quilt, but I'm sure I will be tempted to purchase a few modern pieces of purple. I will definitely need to buy the background fabric. Solid or print? We shall see.
