I am also working on a kaleidoscope quilt using that book, mine is a pale yellow ,blue and green floral . But I do think that yours looks great! :) Mine isn't nearly close to done. :cry:

it's very pretty, and all I can suggest for borders, is what I do...audition different fabrics. I like the idea of using solids or tonals, pulled from the center, so it won't be so busy.
Yes, ordering online can have it's drawbacks. I just bought two videos that don't work at all.
Contacting the suppliers is a very good idea. I applaud your quilt, and your perserverance to forge ahead. I'd like to eventually do one, but I like learning from other ppl, like this first. I do read book instructions etc., but straight from horse's mouth is invaluable...not that your a horse, K, lol! hmmm, let me see your teeth :wink:

Mousie

wow, k. love what you did with border, and the closeups of corner blocks are yummy. yes, I do think your right, a larger print, would show up better from a distance, but what a great job you did on this, for a first time try! your firsts are like my...down the roads, lol!
I like your doggie fabric. Can't wait to see what you do with that. :D

I absolutelly agree with QNC - I learn a lot from everybody here! And I think you all help me avod a few mistakes. HHM, I make enough, so avoiding a few is GREAT!

Joanne, it's like driving this quilting buggy, and we get to dodge the potholes, and we're not even drinking! nope, officer, just meandering a little...ain't been swilling the stipple juice. :wink:

Love your quilt, i would put a narrow border, maybe 1 or 1 1/2 inch of a contrasting fabric to stop the eye and then the main fabric. sorry, i am not good at how to quilt. am workig on this however.

Love how you finished your OBW K! It's always fun to show everyone the fabric you started with, they can't believe it usually! I took a class for my first one, hands on works better for me. They are quite addicting. Can't wait to see the doggy fabric quilt!!!!!!!!!

Looks very very nice.

I just got the One Block Wonders Encore book at the library yesterday. It has some interesting new ideas. Maybe I am closer to attempting the technique.

warm quilt hugs, sue
