I made these kaleidoscope blocks a couple of months
ago when I joined in the 'Bucket Skill' with the online Cyber Quilters
group. Here they are, made into pillows. After setting the blocks
on point, I added some small, leftover pinwheel blocks, a few triangle fillers,
and sewed on some trim.
The 9mm stitch width on my Bernina Artista 180 was
exactly what I needed for sewing on the wide trim around the Kaleidoscopes in
just one pass around the blocks. I did a simple zigzag so as not to
detract from the trim.
See close-ups below.
The backs are irregular Lemoyne stars.
Irregular, because the pieces, while parallelograms, are not diamonds, as the
four sides are not equal.
