[Iris Girl]

I am fasinated by them has anyone done one and how difficult are they?

[Jean Sewing Machine]

I am too! I think the hardest part is lining up the fabric before cutting it out. Someone here posted one recently.

I started one of those a long time ago but didn't get very far. It was very time consuming. I still have all the pieces somewhere. Maybe some day when I'm bored and have nothing else to work on, I'll get it back out and try again.

My daughter did a table runner as a Christmas gift that was a kaleidoscope pattern. Here is a picture of it. They really are not hard, they are actually kind of fun to do.

I really love kaleidoscope quilts! I am a newbie, but I guess I really like a challenge I found the Fons and Porter Shadow Play pattern and am currently attempting to do it. I I have several of the blocks together without the final corners, but have laid it out to see what it is going to look like. I really kind of like it - even though not all of my middles line up properly!

I finished a kaleidoscope similar to the one at this web site but used a large turquoise, pink,shades of purple and greens. https://www.wnynetworks.com/labfabri...scope+Quilting.

Sorry I can't post a picture all I have is my iPad. The most difficult part I found was matching 8 layers with pins then cutting thru 8 layers making sure your fabric doesn't shift. After it was all cut out it was really fun sewing together because each block came out different. The pattern I used was for a queen size and is waiting to go to LAQ to finish.
