Thank you so much for helping get back into exploring kaleidoscope quilts again. I appreciate the way you take your time to explain each step. This is great!😊
Love your tutorials. Blue Painters Tape is a Great Tool for quilters. I keep "3" different widths on hand at all times. "Woot Woot" for Yvonne who does the filming. Really enjoy these. and Love the Puppies.
Mark you are the most amazing quilter I know. I wish I had your talent and patience. I watch and rewatch everyone of your post. Wishing you and Yvonne atruly Healthy and Happy New Year. Barb
If you can get on two sides of your cutting mat corner, you can place the strip set on the 45° line and cut from both sides while rotating the ruler. :) I use my design wall to arrange all my blocks before the final sewing.
🌷🌷🌷Excellent and very sensible explanation of "Kaleidoscopes". Watching your videos with pleasure! = 🌞🌞🌞Прекрасное и очень толковое объяснение "Калейдоскопов". Смотрим ваши видео с удовольствием!
Another thing you can do when you do not have enough room to lay out the entire width of fabric is to cut all of your yardage in half LENGTHWISE. Then you can work with just one-half at a time. By doing that, you can also use a different point to start your crosswise cuts, and almost double the different blocks you can come up with. That fabric is a great one for these blocks.
I Love making that Quilt and have made several Kaleidoscope. I like lining up my Repeats and cutting them all at one time like this. Thanks for sharing with others.💜💜💜 Auntie Ellen
Nice quilt 👍👏🏼👏🏼U have come along way Marc U keep doing awesome n more complicated pieces 🥳🥳 I hav a question I got the Brother PQ 1500SL n it’s been great , BUT it just started skipping stitches while I free motion I’m sewing cotton top cotton batting n flannel backing using cotton thread changed needle . Still skipping it’s very frustrating to keep ripping out stitches. Any hints what else to try??? Not many adjustable buttons on this machine 😖🙄 got this machine after u got yours n record it. HELP anyone familiar with this Please. I’m losing my patience n have 2 quilts to finish before Thee Kings Day . Jan 7 gifts Thannk U 🎅🏼🎄
Hello. I know you said you have changed your needle but I would suggest trying a needle from a different packet. Also check your tension on top. You might want to relax it very slightly. Is it a different thread that you are using or one you are familiar with? Is it the same weight top and bottom? Finally - when did you last clean / oil your machine? Sorry it's not a magic wand but this the check list I use before I accept it's probably time for a service.
That is beautiful fabric. This is going to be a beautiful quilt. When my daughter and her husband traveled to Japan, I ask her to bring me back some Japanese print fabrics. What she sent to me was not very pretty at all. I still have not found a use for it. I just learned that the Blue Willow design (used on plates, cups, etc.) was not designed in Japan or China. It was designed in Great Britain (England); and, at one time it was made in reds and white. I have always loved that design.
A kaleidoscope quilt, you cannot 'overthink' it. JUST DO IT! You'll be amazed at the results, because you never know how it's going to end up. So, just let it happen. 🙂

So cool. I just found your channel. I watched Donna Jordan make this quilt and loved the whole idea.
Amazing how many different color variations from one fabric. Stripes also make interesting kaleidoscope patterns.
Great video, thank you. 😊
Great tips Mark!
Awesome. Dogs are great.
Love THIS…Kaleidoscope…I have made one and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT..Such FUN…
That’s going to be a gorgeous quilt! Thanks for sharing!👍🏻🤩

I love how calm you are. I'm an over thinker. Ugh! It sure can get in the way. That's when I walk away for a bit.

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing day!! I hope you and your family have a wonderful 2022!
Looking good!

So pretty! I'm glad you chose that fabric.
Beautiful and the fabric patterns wow .... love it

“Many ways to skin a cat”. That makes me feel way more secure about my small space I work in. Thank you for the insight. And thanks for the video. 😊
That's going to be a gorgeous quilt
Great job Mark! I've made some great table runners using left over kaleidoscope blocks.
I love that fabric where do I gat it please I want to do what a quilt like that
Can’t wait to get out the fabric I bought years ago to make a kaleidoscope quilt. It’s just fabric. Time to cut into it.
I would recommend using a 60 mm rotary cutter with a new blade.

Where did you get your large white cutting Mat? I love it.
How do you decide on what fabric line you're going to use for a project like this?

Random question. What are you using on the peg board to hold your thread spools?
Are you familiar with Accuquilt?
Keep your scraps to fill doggie beds
Thank you.
