TUTORIAL! PT. 1 ~ One Block Wonder Kaleidoscope Quilt with Panel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- This is Part One of my attempt to demonstrate the One Block Wonder Kaleidoscope block, with tips and tricks gleaned from many other RUclips tutorials!! LOL! If you look up 'Maxine Rosenthal' on RUclips, you will see that she has written several books detailing this method, most probably much better than I can demonstrate here!! LOL!
Free quilting class and sewing lessons! And as in a 'classroom' setting, my tutorials are approximately 1/2 hour+ long....So Join me in my home sewing room making all sorts of quilted goodies! Be aware ~ I like to chat and probably repeat myself over and over, (and stutter sometimes), and if this annoys you, then view elsewhere - but, if patient, you hopefully will learn a new method or technique!

This kaleidoscope quilting is way too much fun!
Hi Jean. I'm so glad to see you're doing a tutorial again.
I bought a fabric to do this technic. Thank you for sharing! I will defenitely watch part 2.
By the way, you look much better. I hope you feel better.
Love from Holland 🇳🇱
Super Anja!! I hope I can do justice to the tutorial and make sense of it all!! LOL! Thanks for watching me and I appreciate your support:) Hopefully I am on the upwards swing!! Still have to take things a bit easy though....don't want to have a relapse:)
I'll be watching part 2 !
Super!! Thanks Brenda!! Now I just have to get going on it:)
Hi Jean, this is the second time I’ve watched your video. The first time I as so tired I fell asleep 😫. This time in much better form and I now can watch part 2. The kaleidoscope quilt is going to be fantastic. Glad to hear everything is settling down now. Thanks so much for sharing, off to watch part 2. 👍❤️😊
Thanks Carmen! For my first 'project' back, I surely did pick it!! LOL! LOL! I'm still having to take things steady as I get tired very quickly, but feeling much better. I have even regained my sense of smell....almost. The cough lingers but all in all, I feel over the Covid.
There was definitely a Ta Da moment there at the end Jean. You have inspired me to try one of these quilts but I will wait until I have seen all your videos before I start, then I can go at my own speed and have a reference to look back on. Thank you for sharing, love to you all,🏴
It's all new to me also Margaret!! I hope I can muddle on through, as it seems there are a lot of people looking at me to see how I go!! No Pressure!!! LOL! LOL! Thanks so much:)
I've seen many videos on this method; this is the best; you make it look so easy! You're a great teacher. Looking forward to more from you.
Aw that is so so very kind!! It is a project that is completely foreign to me and I hope to do some justice to it!! LOL! I am looking forward also, to see what I come up with!! LOL! LOL!
Good that you are getting some relief from your toe. Maxwell looks like he had a great time! Baby Björn looks like a Björn =bear so cute! Thank You for great tutorial ❤have enjoyed your Quilt shows so much You make my day😊♥️
Thanks so much:) You are very kind;) My toe is healing okay...just have to take things steady:)
So nice to here that they accepted Maxwell my 4 brothers well they didn’t have much time with me and didn’t know how to handle me. Good for Maxwell glad to know you doing ok. It is freezing cold wind is bitter brrrr. Home crocheting and knitting. I developed arthritis in my legs so hard to go up and down the stairs and i am in the town house ouch. Beautiful quilts.
Aw Beverely, I'm feeling for you! Please keep warm and cozy!! Crocheting and Knitting sounds good for the soul!! Take care and look after yourself:) Hugs:)
Great job so far.!!! can't wait to see the end product.
Thanks Mimzy!! I appreciate that;)
Wonderful to see you feeling well again! Anxious to follow your progress with this panel quilt.
Thank you! 😊
I am so happy to see you again. Stay safe and healthy ... Please. This will be beautiful, can't wait to see the final quilt/wall hanging.
Hi Sherry!! Lovely to hear from you!! Maxwell says Hi:!!!
I had to laugh Jean, my hubby and I were in the US in October for vacation and we both got Covid, it was only halfway through our holiday and we were shattered until we got back to Australia. A few days after we got home I was admitted to hospital for several days with a nasal gastric tube for bowel obstruction (I thought I was having another Diverticulitis attack) and then 10 days ago I tripped over a pair of hubbys shoes and broke both my big toe and the toe next to it. I am in a moon shoe for 4/6 weeks so watching your video from the other day I felt like our lives were mirror images lol. I hope your toe is feeling better. Definitely keep the toes bandaged together. That is the advice I got from the hospital as well. Please keep the videos coming, I really enjoy them. Have a great week, Jen in Perth Australia.
OH NO!! I shouldn't have, but I did laugh!! LOL! You and me sound like kindred spirits ~ with this little black cloud hovering over us!! LOL! My toe is healing and yes wrapped together:) Thanks so much for taking time to watch me Jen:) I appreciate it;) Safe gentle not painful hugs to Perth:)
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory Thank you Jean, you be sure to take care of you too and I wish us all a happier and healthier 2023. Looking forward to your next video.
Awwwwwww, so sorry all those bad things happened to you; on your vacation, no less!
{{{{{🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻}}}}}
Thelma writes: OUCH Jean, "you poked needles on my eyes", said the lovely lady on the panel.... LOL 😆 🤣 😂 Oh......so funny, but it shows that by poking needles on one's eye does the trick. I do the same way as you do. Jean, so glad to see you look yourself and bubbly again. I hope your toe is healing well. Lovely family picture as always, Jean. I love the colour on the Ukrainian panel, so bright and fresh looking. Love the way you present your video tutorial, I am not into making big
quilt like you do but always enjoy watching you do it. You always learn something, don't you. OK then, love to the Trueloves from Wellington, NZ.
Hugs to Wellington and Thelma;) I am feeling better although really taking it easy still. Don't want to have a relapse!!
Can't wait to see what's next. Happy Holidays !!
Thanks Rebecca:) I can't wait either;)
I'm so pleased you feel like quilting again! Gives me hope as I am recovering from COVID. Only 2 1/2 weeks. Maybe I'll get back to quilting soon. And tackle the one block wonder I have planned for a nativity scene panel. Thank you!
I hope your recovery is smooth and quick. It was a bit brutal, to be honest!!! We can only do what we can do ~ no rush~ Take care Louise! ;) Hugs:)
Absolutely amazing instructions, I have looked at many tutorials and bought the books but neither reading the instructions or watching how it actually works has stuck into my brain, but then I came across yours video and instructions and now it makes sense. So thank you so much for making these videos. I bought a panel which has numbers so I'm going to cut them up using your method and see where it takes me. I'll send you a photo when I have completed it.😊
This makes me very happy:) Thank you and yes, please let me see how you have gotten on:) All the best:)
This is going to be so Beautiful! Can’t wait to see more of the process! Thank you for Sharing! 💕🥰
You are so welcome Marie!! I can't wait either!! LOL! I hope I know what I'm doing!! LOL!
I've always liked the kaleidoscope quilt but figured it would be so far out of my range but I understood the way your doing it. So I'll wait till part two but I think I could do it now. Thank you. You are easy for me to understand.
I felt the exact same way!! But I think I have it figured out!! Thanks for taking time to watch me:)
This is totally new to me.I haven't quilted in a long time, but this project is tempting. I love the colors in this panel!
Thanks so much Karen:) It was tempting for me too.....LOL!....I hope I can do it justice!!! LOL!
So happy you are feeling well enough to start this tutorial. Looking forward to seeing the quilt come together. Thinking that maybe even I could do this. 😊
Thanks Donna:) I'm looking forward to seeing the quilt come together too! Mainly because I have no idea if it will!! LOL! LOL!
This will be so lovely! I will be watching as you go along!! I'm so happy that you are feeling better!!
Thank you so much Donna:) I still have to take things steady as I don't want to have a relapse!! :)
This is going to be lovely. It is good to see you doing a tutorial Jean. I enjoyed it. These poor tutsies Ohhhh! xxx
Thanks Annie:) It's nice to be back stroking my fabric and planning!! Slowly but surely!! Hopefully:)
Looking to get my feet wet so to speak. The quilt is so beautiful. I suppose it’s time to go surfing to find just the right panel that speaks out to me. Thank you so much for challenging your own creative talents to encourage the rest of us to sew with a curious mindset.🪡🧵❤️
Oh dear...I HAVE set myself up haven't I?!!? LOL! We will stumble along together and as I always say...HOPEFULLY I will get there in the end!! LOL! LOL~
Oh Jean its lovely to have you 'BACK TEACHING' again. ❤️
I have seen this quilt demonstrated by Dona Jordan but I thought this was far too advanced for me.
But as I follow you along I think it's even possible for me.
So glad you are on the mend. Lots of love from London. Anita xx
Aw thanks so much Anita:) I've jumped in with both feet with this one!! LOL! Hopefully I can do it justice ~ as it is completely foreign to me too!! LOL! I'm still taking things very every easy, as I get tire so quickly. And my toe is slowly but surely feeling better! Our friend, Roger, just left from visiting us for over a month...he lives in Notting Hill. Good old London:)
I love this. Thanks for showing us how
Thanks for watching me Barbara;)
Gosh Jean I think I could actually do this (well the bit so far that you’ve kindly shown us) and yet I always thought that as nice as the kaleidoscope quilts look they were for the very very experienced and I’d never venture there. Well I now wish to give it a try, you’ve made it possible in my minds eye, you’re amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️🌹
I too thought they were WELL beyond my simple scope!! But when I actually broke them down, I thought, I can do this!! Well, I THINK I can do this!! ! LOL! Watch this space and see how I go!! Thanks Heidi:) You are always so kind;)
That’s going to be beautiful. Nice to see you quilting again. I hope to get my quilting things together soon so I’ll be quilting again
Hi Jean. Sometimes at my OBWQF group shared your link. It's great to see another quilter sharing their 'keeping it real' learn with me tyoe if video, much like I do with my group.
Just to say that yes you certainly can cut those strips either direction, so you did good there. E we also suggest a nice small size like you choose when doing panels, so another good choice. And yes you can turn those points. But I love that you choose to keep the center on the center, following the serendipity cuts, much like Maxine Rosenthal dots when creating her OBW.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you Kathy:) For never knowing just how to do one, I'm so pleased that I managed to do it at all!!:) Your praise and comments made my day! Thanks for finding me:) Have a good day:) Rainy and warm(ish) here in PA, but hopefully the rain stops soon and the weather says it will go up to 72~ We shall see:) Thanks again;)
Jean, I'm really looking forward to this series. Kaleidoscope quilts have always fascinated me, but I'm intimidated to say the least! lol
On broken toes: I broke my little toe when my son was a few weeks old. I stubbed it on the coffee table in the middle of the night...I knew immediately it was broken, as most of my foot went numb. It seemed to take forever to heal, as they do.
Fast forward about 30-ish years, and I was carrying a laundry basket in our basement. I had obviously misjudged exactly where I was, and the SAME toe got jammed into a door frame at full speed. Same thing, foot went numb, and the pain of course came later. I hobbled around for 3 months, and could finally walk without pain. And I did it again. Same toe. Same door frame. We've since moved to a different house, so I'm safe from that door frame, but that poor toe has now been broken 3 times, all due too my careless inattention. lol Pray for my little toe! ❤❤❤
Oh no!! You poor toe!! Same toe...same toe...same toe!! Can't you change things up for awhile and break ANOTHER one!?!? LOL! LOL! Only kidding! Ouch! Tell me about it...everything was healing and then, maybe because it got bitter cold here, the pain and ache started up again! Please take care Dusty! Between us, we can manage to walk straight!! LOL!
Oh my Bjourn looks like his grandpa Ian! What a lovely family!💖💖💖
Soooo many people say that! Truelove Genes Rock:) Thanks Carol:)
Welcome back sweet lady! I was walking on our Main Street sidewalk to do some shopping and tripped and fell . Of course I looked to see if anyone saw me- thankfully no but I had to laugh. Nothing broke- blamed it on Montana wind😂
Isn't that the way ~~ you could be REALLY hurt and yet the embarrassment is worse!!! LOL! LOL! Take care!! That darned Montana wind!!! LOL! Thanks Cathy:)
You look so lovely Jean!! Beautiful family ❤
Thanks Linda:)
This type of quilt is definitely on my t o someday list. You redoing great job explaining it. It Can be very confusing when you have to do the math. Simple math is best for me too. Can't wait to see part 2. ❤️
Glad it was helpful Patricia:) I can't wait to see part 2 also!! LOL! LOL!
I am so excited to see the end result!
I am too Robin!! LOL! Hopefully I don't mess it up!! ;)
However your project comes out, I believe it will look fantastic. As you take such care in doing it with love, how can it be a disaster? Great in figuring out your measurement!👍🏻🙏
Aw thanks so much for that!! You are very kind and supportive!! I hope it all lives up to my Hype!!! LOL! LOL!
I’ve always wanted to make a kaleidoscope quilt. Didn’t know you can do it with a panel. So excited. Your panels are beautiful.
Thanks Vicki!! In the past, as I admitted, I didn't really love the look of the kaleidoscope....it seemed a bit chaotic for me. But with the panel that gives visual relief....well, that's what caught MY eyes and wanted me to try it!! We shall see if I'm successful:)
Just discovered one block wonder and I want to do this!! Great video. New subscriber
Awesome! Thank you!
This looks like a fun project. I saw some videos years ago where they did this with a large floral print. I’ve never seen it done with panels. TFS. 🌷
I had seen that too...but I like the RELIEF that the panel gives! Thanks Susan:)
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory I agree!
Hi Jean! That is going to be just gorgeous just from what few you showed us. I've done blocks this way with fabric, but not a panel. Those you showed were gorgeous as well 💗💗
Thanks Marla!! If I get stuck then I'll get in touch with you!! LOL! I don't really have a clue what to do!! LOL!
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory You'll do just fine! If you want to rotate them, just turn each triangle 1 turn to the right or left-just be consistent. Your first design will come out so differently & you might like it better. But from the looks of these triangles, I think they'll all be pretty without rotating them!!
Jean so good to see you back to yourself again. Sorry about the broken toe .....but after everything you've been through I'm sure that's a walk in the park lol. I'm so excited about this tutorial as you know, I've always wanted to do the one block wonder and of course you break it down into easy steps and you are so fabulous at this!!!! I just love your song and dances ......because your brain seems to work just like mine. Thank you so very very much for doing this tutorial for us. love from Ireland xxx
We can 'sing and dance' to our own tunes Martina!! We get each other!! LOL! LOL! I hope I can muddle on through with this project....its a bit of a mystery to me too!! LOL! Love to Ireland!! (Ian's maternal grandmother's last name was Ryan!!:) Common name though in Ireland!! ;)
HI Jean. Oh no. Not another injury. Sounds like my house. Well I hope you all can heal fast. Loved this tutorial. I never knew how these Kaleidoscope quilts were made. Wow. Thank you and love TO the Trueloves. (P.S. you do look better. Please continue on your road to recovery.) Yay, Maxwell is on a great trip with the bruddahs!!!!
Yup! Another injury!! LOL! LOL! But you have to laugh:) I too never realized how the Kaleidoscope quilts were made!!!! But I think I got this!! LOL! Maxwell is very blessed to have so many people who truly love him and look after him:)
Very very nice quilt piecing. 😊
Thanks so much;)
You are just 🌹 lovely, I enjoy so much watching your channel
Aw thanks so much! :) You are very kind to take time to watch me:) Is Garnet truly your name?!? Such a pretty one!! LOL!
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory yes it is, my grandmothers name was Garnet
Wow, yesterday at quilt group our library lady introduced a new book. One block wonders with panels then this tutorial appears , hahaha. Your panels would make lovely quilts for my two Ukrainian daughters in law. Hope you are well Jean. :)
Is that book by Maxine Rosenthal? She was the originator (or at least wrote a popular book on the subject) of the One Block Wonder block method:) I don't have the book, but have followed along with many tutorials here on RUclips to learn about it:) I do hope your daughter in laws and families are safe!! Hugs Michelle;)
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory Yes I have two books of hers but am looking to get the one with panels though panels are quite expensive here in Australia. Both DIL safe one lives in Hobart Tasmania the other is in London. X Jean
So pleased to hear everyone is safe:)
Yay! I have been waiting for this video!! So excited to start! Thanks for teaching us this. Sorry to hear about your toe that is no fun. Love your big scissors behind you by the way don't remember them SO cute!
YAY!! I am finally getting around to it Jen!! LOL! There is a person here who was wondering how big you think to cut your own larger panel....maybe you can enlighten us? When you do it?
Thank you Jean. Be well.
Thanks Jo! I will endeavor to be!! LOL!
This looks like so much fun! I got some pretty floral panels from equilter to do this project so I’m excited to get started. Your poor toe😮. I broke a toe a few years ago and the taping really helped. I don’t even remember which one it was now. How nice that you have Rodger visiting again! I’m trying not to lose the sign language since our group was dissolved, but it’s hard when we’re not using it like we used to. Thanks for doing these tutorials for us Jean! 🤟🤟🤟 to you and the family!
Roger is such a sweetie and we have zero trouble communicating with him in both lip reading and signing to a small extent. Maxwell said he is the BEST guest ever...and we have to admit that him being deaf makes for a VERY amenable house guest!! LOL! It's comforting to know that my toe will heal and I will soon forget which one got broke!! LOL! Can't wait till ALL woes and pain and the ears of the deaf are unstopped:) Bless you Sondra:) Love to the family:)
What a cool idea!
Thanks Tracy:) Hopefully it will turn out okay:)
Yay..you're back❤
Aw thanks Barbara!! Hopefully to stay for awhile!! I have to still take things easy though...don't want to have a relapse!! Take care;)
So cool and pretty
THank you:)
So when do we get to see you demonstrate how you use those gigantic scissors? Or did I miss that somehow? 🤣🤣
Great to see you creating and happy dear Jean.
LOL! Maxwell said the exact same thing!! LOL! Now THAT would make a great video:) THanks Jan:) Take care;)
Great picture of your beautiful family...thanks for sharing them.
Looking forward in all of the steps to this kaleidoscope quilt.....the math is done now so the rest should be easy peasy right???
Thank you so much Terrie~ My regular RUclips friends will KNOW just how much I sweated over that math!!! LOL LOL! LOL! I sure do hope I got it right!!!! LOL!
What brand of May are you using? It looks so very accurate and the color is so neutral.
Sorry, don't understand what you mean? May??!?! But thanks anyway:)
Sorry, I typed ' mat' and good old auto correct changed it !
I ' m curious about the wonderful beige cutting mat. It looks so easy to read!
Thanks!
My panel is very large like Jen’s ,so I’m interested in what size strips she may be using? For me I am looking along the line of cutting my panel down some and going with 4.00 strips? First cutting my panel down to about 28x30 but the print is very large? What do you or Jen think?
Jen has answered here....but I will get in touch with her now and see what her plans are!! :) Thanks Shirley:)
Beautiful ! But you know you can use the other panels too…because the are the same color tones.This would give you more kaleidoscope blocks to surround you pretty panel.
I didn't realize what you meant at first, but then GOT IT!! THank you for that suggestion!! ;)
Jean you are so blessed with your beautiful wonderful family!!! May I ask you how far do you live from Monroeville ? We are driving up there to bring my son Michael to a day of dead or something like that weekend from GA. We would love love love to meet you and Maxwell and take y’all to lunch. That would make day!!! Please let me know my Michael will be busy with his tours of that convention and my husband and I will be just there. Sending my love and if you can we would love to meet y’all. It will be the weekend of June 8-11
Aw Bless you Shirley:) I looked it up and we live about 5 hours from Monroeville. Thank you for your offer, but perhaps not practical for us. You are very kind and I will tell Jen about your invitation! Thanks again for watching me!
Yes you can turn it 3 times to get 3 different block images.
I saw that!! But my left/right/upside down/mirror image brain got VERY VERY confused!!! LOL! I'll stick with one way!! LOL! Thanks Jennifer:)
You folks have had so much trouble of late. I hope it's over and more good things are in your future.
It's just called LIFE, Theresa:) No more no less than others have experienced. We just continue to see the glass half full rather than empty and count our many blessings:) Thank you so much;)
Oh please bring Jenn too if you can
I am from Ukraine. We have been living in wartime for two years now. I believe that if you had any sense, you would not have cut the beautiful Ukrainian canvas to the brim, I see a painful symbolism in this. The insatiable people of this world are already tearing our country apart. . So many fabrics, and you chose the panel with the Ukrainian Poltavchanka... For the second year in a row, here children are left without parents, without housing, without limbs, families become incomplete, men give their lives so that their families can live, and you you are so happy that you cut such a beautiful canvas into parts (
I am beyond sorry for what you people have endured and are yet enduring. What a wicked world we live in. I was kindly gifted this beautiful fabric by the fabric supplier, equilter.com located in Colorado and was asked, as a RUclips quilt creator, if I could make something to honor the Ukrainian people, utilizing this fabric line. Equilter is generous, in that they contribute to charities around the globe, in order to heIp. I chose, as an artist, to create this quilt ~ showcasing the beautiful woman, as a whole, in the garden, complete and intact, surrounded by color and shape and forms found in nature, sunshine yellows, vibrant greens, sky blues and mellow creams. Nothing dreary or dark or fragmented, just an image and textile, bursting with hope and joy. As sadly, life USED to be for the people of the Ukraine. I love my fellow man, as is the next commandment in the Bible, after first loving our God, Jehovah. War, and it's horrific implications and consequences, are the workings of a wicked and sinful people, under the influence of evil forces wreaking havoc in the world. Soon to be destroyed under God's Kingdom arrangement. A time my family and myself and others look forward to. Again my sorrow and concern go to the unfortunate people who are suffering.
Then convey to your supplier that you cannot create something new by destruction. Especially if you have panels, their essence is to use them whole and not fragmented. I see that everyone is trying to get ahead of themselves on the Ukrainian theme, but not in this way. Why couldn't it be take and connect several fabrics to get a Ukrainian ornament? Why do you need to cut a whole panel into pieces? And don't mention God, you are doing your work for financial enrichment.
This subject is obviously a sensitive topic for you, however, in the quilting world which I live in, the object to create works of art is to choose fabrics, and then CUT them up into various sizes, shapes and pieces, combine them with other coordinating fabric (perhaps ALSO cut up) and to create something new and different, which is exactly what I did. No huge symbolism, no political overtones, no offense intended, just pretty fabrics made even prettier:) We can agree to disagree on this matter, as reasonable adults do. I wish no ill feelings and respect your fervant believes. I will, however, in my venue, continue to mention my God, Jehovah, my relationship with him and his Kingdom as the answer to all of the terrible conditions in the world we now live in. Soon to come. As a P.S., please, you can look up and research exactly HOW LITTLE RUclips creators, such as myself, earn......if I make enough to pay a utility bill each month, then that is a GOOD month! LOL! I certainly am NOT making enough to Retire!! LOL! I do what I do to share and be appreciated by folks who get me. That is all.
Cutting strips at 3.5" would have worked both ways.
If you are teaching, please teach rotary blade SAFETY by closing your cutter EVERY time you stop cutting. Please
please please
Bland designs and the idiot quilter did this quilt. Maybe you can see his or maybe you already did. Good luck it will be amazng.
Yes, Donna, I have watched many tutorials on this project!! Lovely to learn form others too:) Thanks so much and hope you are keeping well:)
