Caverswall Quilt Cave

The last few Stack-n-Whack Kaleidoscope quilts that were started at the first workshop, are coming together very nicely... here's Wendy's quilt top. Her pattern repeat was 24" so she was able to make many more blocks, which is how come she had enough to make half blocks for the setting triangles, and don't they just look great...
Maggi also finished making her blocks, started to decide how to arrange them and the auditioned sashing fabric colours. I think she chose the yellow as sashing with the deep aubergine as corner stones. The original fabric will be used for the borders, it's always good to see the fabric used to make the kaleidoscopes, at least I think it is... but you can practice PMS (Pleasing My Self)...
This is Posh Lizi's centre third quilt sandwich. She's sort of decided how to quilt it and wanted to draw lines to help her stitching. It's much easier to draw a new design and let it wear off if it's not what you want, Lizi used a Sewline pencil so that the lines would stay visibubble for long enough. We're so lucky to  have air eraseabubble pens (for which I say hooorah,!hooorah!)  but they disappear a little too quickly for some jobs.

Lovely quilt Posh Lizi cann't wait to see the finished quilt. The kaleidoscopes are wonderful, with so many different combinations. All fabric from Angie's shop picked on this day fresh and perfect.
