First of all, welcome to the site, from Tucson Arizona.
Second---LOVE your precious muppets! They made me smile when I scrolled down.
Third - Had to say I had the pleasure of staying in your country for 71/2 years and absolutely loved it--miss it so much I intend to vacation there in a few years :)

I like semi art quilts. Not the ones that look like a mish mash of glaring color. I love the scenic art quilts and real/still life depicted with fabric and thread. Very few traditional quilts gets my attention unless the fabric design and color are outstanding to me.

In german the technique calls Kaleidoscop. How is the english translation?

That is a wonderful quilt. I tried the technique already times. It is so laborious. i gave up. I am too impatient for it. I admire your patience.

I didn't find it so, it is called the same thing, or a one block wonder, it is a stack and wack. many names. Most are not done with more than one fabric but I did a landscape with them. I love them, Just need to learn to cut the pieces bigger. I am wondering why you find it laborious? ( I am not patient, I am persistant!)

What charming muppet blocks! The delighted the little kid in me. I smiled, I laughed!
I am a beginning quilter. I am starting with the traditional blocks, hand piecing and hand quilting, but at some point I hope to do some contemporary styles and even art quilts.
I'm not one of those who thinks all quilts are automatically art. But a lot of them, including the traditional ones, are art. I also think that some quilts using traditional blocks and motifs have a very contemporary spin.
