    The name of the quilt pattern is Kaleidoscope. That should have been my first clue. I had already made up my mind that I wasn't going to make a OBW when I saw this one. It is a Strip Therapy pattern and they are just simple quilts done with 2 1/2 in strips. Just add borders, right? Everyone knows that. Well let me tell you, if I had read the whole pattern before I started cutting it out, I never would have started it.

    360 triangles

    170 of these

    What in the world was I thinking? These are all bias sides!

    So I started putting it on the Design wall.

    Interesting look

    This is about half of the final product. I needed to start sewing it together so it would all fit on the design wall

    This is a prize winner. The fabric and colors go perfectly together. Thanks for sharing this.

    And that is where I left it last night. I think it will take me all week to put this top together!
