Just after Christmas, my mother and I purchased a home quilting system between us. My mom has been quilting for as long as I can remember! She is quite a perfectionist. I had some ugly orange floral material sitting around for a long time. I was thinking there must be something I can use it in! I already had a Stack n Whack book. The way you stack the layers and cut them to form the blocks to look like Kaleidoscopes was fascinating to me. So early in January, I picked up the book and started reading through the instructions, it said somewhere don't overlook some of the ugly fabrics in bargin bins, they make the greatest Kaleidoscopes. So I figured I would give it a try with the ugly orange floral print! I was telling my mother about my plans and with each stack n whack pieced together we were amazed at the shapes that took place! I thought I'd make this quilt and it would be my first on the quilting system. I was anticipating a very ugly quilt! But much to my surprise, I fell in love with it! Needless to say, the home quilting system was a whole new learning experience!
I quilted an all over floral/butterfly design. All I have to do is find a better way to take pictures.
The lighting seems terrible.
