ONE-BLOCK WONDER
One fabric, one shape, one-of-a-kind quilt! Instead of starting with a particular pattern or design and then trying to find fabric that will fit the pattern, this approach begins with the fabric; the fabric is the key element. Kaleidoscope blocks, each one unique, are produced by aligning the printed design on several layers of fabric and then cutting and sewing triangles together. The possibilities are endless!
