January through November of this year I've been making Kaleidoscope blocks as one of my projects for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Each month I made a block in the color of the month, a block in the color of the month plus the previous month and a block of the color of the month plus its complement.
And I've been using crumbs for the corners.
I now have 36 - 12 inch kaleidoscope blocks.
December is the month to finish up some of our RSC projects.
I want 42 blocks for a 6 x 7 layout. So, I need 6 more blocks. I've looked through my bigger scraps for some fabric combinations for those six extras.
Here's 2 blocks I made this morning to add to the pile. Two down...four to go.
And I'm THINKING I will add a 4 inch crumby border. Not sure I like the straight lines so I'm going to hunt around my sewing room for that bag of wonky and waste HSTs. I think the triangle crumbs will look more like those little kaleidoscope pieces look before they form a design.

I'm really looking forward to seeing all your blocks together!
Ohhhh. I can't wait to see them all laid out! So fun to watch these grow all year.
The angles where the blocks meet are so much fun, I can see why you want to continue the theme in the borders. Getting closer to a finish....
Whoa! Now that is scrappy! I think you have outdone yourself! Your almost there. It will be fun to see the blocks become a top!
These blocks are looking so good! Only four more for you to make and then bingo!!
