Kaleidoscopes of Green


Kaleidoscope Blocks
11 inch
Dark with light corners


Kaleidoscope Blocks
11 inch
Light with dark corners

Light and dark cornered blocks will alternate in the quilt. 

I started making these in June after I received some 6 inch width strips. I added in some greens from my scrap bag and now I have a set of 35 blocks ready for a comfort quilt. But for now the blocks are going into the SAR (Some Assembly Required) bin.

And sew on...

How time flies! When I started making these blocks I see from that blog post that the peonies were in bloom. So many things have bloomed since and now are starting to die back. It is almost time to start harvesting seeds for next year's gardens. "To every thing there is a season..."

The beautiful weather continues so you will probably find me outside enjoying it.

Lovely green kaleidoscope blocks, Cathy--such a pretty variety of those greens in them... we finally got measurable rains overnight--3/4" so far...we could use a week of it..
hugs, Julierose

These blocks look beautiful already. What did you use - templates or paper-pieced?

Those green blocks remind me of Spring! They are lovely! Yes, it is time to complete harvest and put garden beds to rest. I miss the early sunrises already!

I've already started cutting plants back and digging some up completely. The gardens look dreadful due to the lack of rain. Less than .2" in the last 10 days and none in the forecast all week. Of course, the forecast seems to change daily, so we shall see. I've lost my enthusiasm for gardening.
