Kaleidoscope - DONE!

[tielan]

TA-DA!!


Almost certainly the most finicky quilt I've ever made!

I'm still not sure that the fabrics are right for the quilt type itself, but what's done is done and I'm not going to unpick it all!

Out in the sun in the garden:


And another, closer up.


This was to have been a gift for Agam Darshi of Sanctuary fame (plays the character of Kate Freelander), because I love the character and the actress is a sweetheart and neither character nor actor get half as much love as Amanda and the guys. Plus, Amanda already has quilts made for her by fans (the GABIT girls are much more skilled than I) and I thought it would nice to send one to Agam.

Unfortunately, this isn't good enough for me to really consider it as a gift, even once it's quilted. It looks great from a distance, but, honestly, the corners don't match more often than they do and...yeah. Not my best work. I just couldn't.

So it's going into the "pile of gift quilts for people I've stayed with while travelling", which I'm going to put out there in the next couple of months for various hosts to pick.

I'll make another one for Agam. Simpler. Where the points actually, you know, meet.

Next up is Disappearing Imperials for my mum. Because if I don't get it done soon, she may disown me...

I can see how this quilt is a design best suited to a person of infinite patience and a real stickler for detail.

I am in awe. I could never begin to tackle something that finicky. Kudos to you!

It looks gorgeous. I've mentioned it before but I just adore the colors.

Pretty! But, you're probably right on the "too busy" and other issues.
