TUTORIAL! PT. 1 ~ One Block Wonder Kaleidoscope Quilt with Panel

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is Part One of my attempt to demonstrate the One Block Wonder Kaleidoscope block, with tips and tricks gleaned from many other KZread tutorials!! LOL! If you look up 'Maxine Rosenthal' on KZread, you will see that she has written several books detailing this method, most probably much better than I can demonstrate here!! LOL!
Free quilting class and sewing lessons! And as in a 'classroom' setting, my tutorials are approximately 1/2 hour+ long....So Join me in my home sewing room making all sorts of quilted goodies! Be aware ~ I like to chat and probably repeat myself over and over, (and stutter sometimes), and if this annoys you, then view elsewhere - but, if patient, you hopefully will learn a new method or technique!
Want to see exclusive private videos?! I have a 'tip jar' in my room! Leave as little or as much whenever you wish! I thank you in advance for tipping and making it possible for me to continue to make videos! So, Become a Patron! Join at:

    I had to laugh Jean, my hubby and I were in the US in October for vacation and we both got Covid, it was only halfway through our holiday and we were shattered until we got back to Australia. A few days after we got home I was admitted to hospital for several days with a nasal gastric tube for bowel obstruction (I thought I was having another Diverticulitis attack) and then 10 days ago I tripped over a pair of hubbys shoes and broke both my big toe and the toe next to it. I am in a moon shoe for 4/6 weeks so watching your video from the other day I felt like our lives were mirror images lol. I hope your toe is feeling better. Definitely keep the toes bandaged together. That is the advice I got from the hospital as well. Please keep the videos coming, I really enjoy them. Have a great week, Jen in Perth Australia.

    Hi Jean. Sometimes at my OBWQF group shared your link. It's great to see another quilter sharing their 'keeping it real' learn with me tyoe if video, much like I do with my group. Just to say that yes you certainly can cut those strips either direction, so you did good there. E we also suggest a nice small size like you choose when doing panels, so another good choice. And yes you can turn those points. But I love that you choose to keep the center on the center, following the serendipity cuts, much like Maxine Rosenthal dots when creating her OBW. Keep up the good work!

    @@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory You'll do just fine! If you want to rotate them, just turn each triangle 1 turn to the right or left-just be consistent. Your first design will come out so differently & you might like it better. But from the looks of these triangles, I think they'll all be pretty without rotating them!!

    Jean, I'm really looking forward to this series. Kaleidoscope quilts have always fascinated me, but I'm intimidated to say the least! lol On broken toes: I broke my little toe when my son was a few weeks old. I stubbed it on the coffee table in the middle of the night...I knew immediately it was broken, as most of my foot went numb. It seemed to take forever to heal, as they do. Fast forward about 30-ish years, and I was carrying a laundry basket in our basement. I had obviously misjudged exactly where I was, and the SAME toe got jammed into a door frame at full speed. Same thing, foot went numb, and the pain of course came later. I hobbled around for 3 months, and could finally walk without pain. And I did it again. Same toe. Same door frame. We've since moved to a different house, so I'm safe from that door frame, but that poor toe has now been broken 3 times, all due too my careless inattention. lol Pray for my little toe! ❤❤❤

    Oh no!! You poor toe!! Same toe...same toe...same toe!! Can't you change things up for awhile and break ANOTHER one!?!? LOL! LOL! Only kidding! Ouch! Tell me about it...everything was healing and then, maybe because it got bitter cold here, the pain and ache started up again! Please take care Dusty! Between us, we can manage to walk straight!! LOL!

    Is that book by Maxine Rosenthal?

    I am from Ukraine. We have been living in wartime for two years now. I believe that if you had any sense, you would not have cut the beautiful Ukrainian canvas to the brim, I see a painful symbolism in this. The insatiable people of this world are already tearing our country apart. . So many fabrics, and you chose the panel with the Ukrainian Poltavchanka... For the second year in a row, here children are left without parents, without housing, without limbs, families become incomplete, men give their lives so that their families can live, and you you are so happy that you cut such a beautiful canvas into parts (

    I am beyond sorry for what you people have endured and are yet enduring. What a wicked world we live in. I was kindly gifted this beautiful fabric by the fabric supplier, equilter.com located in Colorado and was asked, as a KZread quilt creator, if I could make something to honor the Ukrainian people, utilizing this fabric line. Equilter is generous, in that they contribute to charities around the globe, in order to heIp. I chose, as an artist, to create this quilt ~ showcasing the beautiful woman, as a whole, in the garden, complete and intact, surrounded by color and shape and forms found in nature, sunshine yellows, vibrant greens, sky blues and mellow creams. Nothing dreary or dark or fragmented, just an image and textile, bursting with hope and joy. As sadly, life USED to be for the people of the Ukraine. I love my fellow man, as is the next commandment in the Bible, after first loving our God, Jehovah. War, and it's horrific implications and consequences, are the workings of a wicked and sinful people, under the influence of evil forces wreaking havoc in the world. Soon to be destroyed under God's Kingdom arrangement. A time my family and myself and others look forward to. Again my sorrow and concern go to the unfortunate people who are suffering.

    Then convey to your supplier that you cannot create something new by destruction. Especially if you have panels, their essence is to use them whole and not fragmented. I see that everyone is trying to get ahead of themselves on the Ukrainian theme, but not in this way. Why couldn't it be take and connect several fabrics to get a Ukrainian ornament? Why do you need to cut a whole panel into pieces? And don't mention God, you are doing your work for financial enrichment.

    This subject is obviously a sensitive topic for you, however, in the quilting world which I live in, the object to create works of art is to choose fabrics, and then CUT them up into various sizes, shapes and pieces, combine them with other coordinating fabric (perhaps ALSO cut up) and to create something new and different, which is exactly what I did. No huge symbolism, no political overtones, no offense intended, just pretty fabrics made even prettier:) We can agree to disagree on this matter, as reasonable adults do. I wish no ill feelings and respect your fervant believes. I will, however, in my venue, continue to mention my God, Jehovah, my relationship with him and his Kingdom as the answer to all of the terrible conditions in the world we now live in. Soon to come. As a P.S., please, you can look up and research exactly HOW LITTLE KZread creators, such as myself, earn......if I make enough to pay a utility bill each month, then that is a GOOD month! LOL! I certainly am NOT making enough to Retire!! LOL! I do what I do to share and be appreciated by folks who get me. That is all.
