Join professional educator, Carrie Philpott in this fascinating study of the kaleidoscope quilt block.
 
"For years I marveled at the geometric wonder of the Kaleidoscope Quilts displayed at quilt shows and pondered on how such an intriguing design was created,” said Carrie. “I studied book after book on the rules of One-Block-Wonders and the Stack & Whack technique, bought all the recommended fabric and gave it a whirl (literally). However, I ended up with a mess that went either into the trash or the donation pile for some braver soul to figure out. Three years ago, while helping a high school neighbor with geometry homework, I decided to give the remarkable kaleidoscope block another try. What I discovered, like so many math problems, is there often is a much simpler method for solving the equation. And, you don’t have to be a math whiz to make one of these amazingly beautiful quilts!”
 
In class you will learn how to select prints that will work best for the block; all about color, design, panels, direction, notions needed, and how much fabric to purchase; what size of angle to cut the triangles and how large to make each block; how to prepare the fabric for best results. Plus sewing the block all together without the dreaded y-seam; and finally pressing so that matching points is a breeze. Carrie’s trunk show of success quilts and “learning” opportunities will inspire you to create a kaleidoscope quilt of your own.
