I absolutely love the technique and the result. There are many different authors and books available. I use the local library for my books. The method through which I learned was "Magic Stack and WHack" by Bethany Reynolds. Just a sample of my latest work. I have used this Lilac fabric for numerous projects and have done over 60 blocks.
With mauve background.

I also have a birhouse wall hanging to do called Sunflower Cafe' and joined a BOM - Birdhouse Village. So..... that being said.... can you tell me where you got your fabric..... the manufacturer....... and the name?
Sorry I have no idea whose fabric it was & I don't even have a scrap of it left to look at for you, however I do know of a small shop here on the other side of town who suppy it. I will call them tomorrow for you & find out. I think they will post it over to you wherever you are ?
I'll be in touch.
I love birdhouse themes also - we have something in common LOL.

Hi all,
So, after reading the initial posting on where to start on this quilt, I took the plunge around 5 PM yesterday evening, cutting strips, working my template. By 3 AM I had it designed and on my portable design wall. Yes, this quilt is still on my design wall I adopted the Kool Kaleidscope Quilt from Ricky Tims. I viewed the video from The Quilt Show. It really came together quite easy. Now time for sewing it all. More to come soon. Let me know what cha think.

Wow! I'm impressed! A wonderful way to make new and exciting K-quilts! Thanks for sharing.
I went to a Ricky Tims live performance here in St. Louis last month and he truly takes piecing and quilting to a new level.

Thanks for the compliment. At least, I know I'm on the right track having just thrown this together fairly quickly. I'm really excited about it. Some one had posted that they were tentative about getting started. So, I went for it and it was great.
