kaleidoscope quilt - nearly done!

[tielan]

So close, I can taste it!

It actually looks kinda okay.

The borders (outside the dark line) are just laid out right now, not sewn on:





It still seems awfully busy, and the seams are horrible when viewed up close. But the overall pattern is pretty good, I think!

I'm going to try to finish this on Friday. It's been lingering so long that it's become a millstone around my neck and I want it gone and done!

DONE IS THE ENGINE OF MORE.

And once it is...

I'm thinking that I need some very simple projects for a while. Super-simple and easy, after the nightmare complexity of the kaleidoscope quilt.

So, forthwith are my ideas for the next three quilts (not counting the kaleidoscope quilt-along that I'll be doing with Don't Call Me Betsy):

1. hourglass blocks in purple-green-black batiks
2. disappearing nine-patch with Robert Kaufman's Imperial Collection
3. Mountain Majesty in Harvest fabrics

Very very simple, chain-piecing, easy-to-assemble-and-sew quilts.

A good idea right now since I'm burned out on the complicated after Supernova and Kaleidoscope.

That's a beautiful quilt. I like how busy it is, I don't think that's a distraction. It's loud, yes, but it makes the pattern come alive.

Wow! That looks great!

I love bright colors on quilts, so I have to say that I'm a little in love with this quilt!

The hourglass blocks sounds awesome! (I love the color combo.) But I'm sue whichever one you decide is going to love stellar.
