Hello! and Welcome!
I am Tiffany and here is my version of the Kaleidoscope Quilt
which is the subject of the Designer Duo Quilt Along!
Batiks are my favorite, so when Nancy Rink (one of my favorite quilters) asked me to join in as a guest to the Quilt Along, I chose these beautiful fabrics by Laundry Basket Quilts of Andover Fabrics (where some more of my favorite quilt friends work).
Daryl helped me with the fabric choices and Giuseppe photographed the quilt for me when we met up at QuiltCon in Pasadena last February.
Let's just say:
Quilt Friends are Awesome!
Here are my fabrics:
If these are just calling your name, head over to my website and see if there is still a kit available.
I might have some pattern books if you want to choose your own fabrics:
Shall we start in with Block 1?
First things first...I cut all my background pieces.
If you are using a ruler or tool that is new to you, I suggest that you cut some sample pieces and make sure that your cutting and piecing works out before going on to cut all your background fabric for the quilt.
If you are using The Goddess Tool, let me suggest a couple of videos for you:
(this video is for a block that is made up of Tall Triangle Units, you will understand if you watch)
I make sure to label all my pieces
(keeps me from wasting time later).
These cute little letters are called:
I stitched together my units and pressed my seams open
(I know, I know you think I'm crazy).
Well, just look below at how nice it is to stitch right at the tip of the triangle point!
Next I put those units together.
Just look at that back!
Make sure you construct two of Block 1.
Oh, make sure you do the "Work Ahead" units.
Let me tell you, you will be happy later!
Just like that, Block 1 is complete!
I shall put in a shameless plug right now.
My husband, Scott, digitized the machine quilting design
and actually quilted this quilt!
No. You cannot have him!
Okay, that was awesome!
Please let me know what you think of my block!
Blog at you later,
Tiffany

Love your block and fabric choices. Thanks for helpful hints too.
I'm going to make my quilt scrappy, but try to use the same colors that you do (I have an ample stash). I don't have a hubby that finish the quilting for me, though. Your block #1 is gorgeous.
Lucky you! Block looks terrific and you have a terrific hubby!
Tiffany, I watched the video link you provided and I am taking your class on Craftsy. I have figured out the strip sizes for the flying geese in blocks 1 and 2. Is it possibble/permissible for you to provide strip sizes for the triangles in this quilt for use with your Goddess tool? Are there any triangles we can not cut with your tool?
Hi Vickie,
You can cut the triangles using The goddess Tool. When a half square triangle finished at 2" x 2" cut the strip at 2 1/2" then subcut into the triangle shapes (Directions in the book would state to cut 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" then cut in half). You will not be cutting square in half so you will need twice the number stated in the book. So, if 8 squares yields 16 triangles, you will need to cut 16 triangles using The Goddess Tool (or a square triangle ruler). I sure hope that helps!
