Thanks, Linda. I think the purple sashing saved it. I am thinking of turning the top into twin baby quilts. I have enough of the purple left to do that.
That is what I love about sashing - the way it takes the salad and makes it the main course. I also hadn’t thought of a four patch kaleidoscope quilt so I have to thank you and you tube’s algorithms for showing me this.
Really like the sashing you have chosen. I am a kindred spirit as I watch TH-cam and a very few select Christian shows. I am pleasantly surprised by how many quilting TH-cam's are Christians. I think it's why the community is so connected and supportive of each other. You are a true inspiration.
Thanks for watching, Freddie. Someone suggested splitting it to make two twin baby quillts to reduce the quilting stress on my body. I might just do that!
I have made a 4- patch kaleidoscope once, and mine was a small quilt. I have also made hexi- kaleidoscope quilts. It is always fun to lay out the pieces and watch designs appear. I agree that a larger print creates greater variety in the results. I appreciate your moral values. The Chosen is a marvelous program. We are loving it. I watch television about a much as you do. I was brought up and taught the way of Holiness, and that is hard to find in the entertainment world.
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. I can not say enough good things about The Chosen. It has made such a positive impact on my life, and brought me closer to Jesus. God bless.
The sashing was a good call. The blocks are lovely by themselves, and you can appreciate them better when they are separated. I love the colors. Nice video.
Thanks so much for finding me and commenting! I've learned from my incredible viewers that you should cut the fabric on the fold and align them seperately! Also, if you want to try this, use a fabric with a larger pattern. This one was too tiny.
I have really been enjoying watching your videos and learning from you! I have been sewing forever--my mom made everything I wore, and she taught me as best she could! I'm 68 now, and I started quilting this July. I've made a few "accidentally" and then a couple that I followed directions. I think the second one I made was with the Pioneer Woman fabric fat quarters from Wal Mart. Thanks for your instructions and your videos!!
Hi. I am so happy with how your quilt turned out! I was so happy to see how you did it. I've been dying to make a kaleidoscope quilt. I bought the latest remnant of a large print floral and gushed there was enough for the hexie kaleidoscope. There is only 2.5meters, 4 repeats. When you mentioned this quilt with just 4 repeats I was thinking you were cutting into triangles with 45° angle. This is better than I would have thought!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Anita! I'm glad this will help you use that fabric! Commenters did tell me that i can cut the fabric down the fold and match those repeats up separately. That will save you a lot of grief!
@@70acres i did look at that as a possibility but the fabric didn't look like repeat across the width, just the legnth. I am more than happy to make mine as you made yours. If doing the 45° cuts, there is only one way to assemble the blocks. They way you do it gives 4 options. Also because its squares, they can be any size as long as they are the same. This is not the next project I'll be making, but its going to light a fire under me to get current ones finished.
Thanks for watching, Robin. Read through the comments on the Part 1 video. Folks cut the fabric on the fold so you aren't dealing with both layers at the same time.... Who knew! 😉
I'm so thrilled you did this quilt in a 4 patch. I'm working on a 6 patch hexagon block. Wish I'd of seen this first cuz it's so much easier and looks faster. You've made this awesome pattern do able for us who have been chicken to start. I'm doing mine in a marble neon fabric from Joann's for a son in laws man cave in black light themed stuff. He's going to be shocked for sure. I love your videos and wish we could be neighbors. Keep these videos coming, you are so very talented. Barb from Tombstone AZ
Hello, Barb! I'm so glad you like my channel! This 4 patch Kaleidoscope is so much fun. I'll be doing more of them with bigger patterned fabric. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching, Evelyn. I love big quilts too but my neck and spine are fused and I can't handle quilting them. I can't stand at a long arm so until I can find an affordable sitdown long arm. I can't consider large quilts.
@@70acres I think I kind of know my limit on size since I quilt them on my domestic machine. I have sent all my bed size quilts to a long-arm quilter. I need to explore easy quilting options on my machine, like using a wave stitch or scallop with straight stitches. I don’t think I want to free motion quilt, as I don’t think I would like it if it was not perfect. Thanks for all your wonderful videos. 😀
I love it and in fact. Just saw the pioneer woman fabric yesterday at walmart ,not being a flower print person paid it no mind. But seeing this with the sashing I am going to try this tomorrow I will buy the three yard cut. Thank You for making this video got my creative juices flowing. John in Massachusetts
I hope you have a lot of fun with this project. Commenters did tell me that i can cut the fabric down the fold and match those repeats up separately. That will save you a lot of grief! Thanks for watching, John!
Wow Melissa this turned out beautiful!! See all the stash stuff you had gotten from @SewYeah has saved the day!! I absolutely LOVE your sewing machine!! Keep up the fun and informative videos. Look forward to the next one.❤ Laura in KY
I've done the hexie with 6 triangles. It wasn't as painful as I expected but this one is so easy! Just need a bigger print than this one! Thanks for watching, Di!
WOW!! It's gorgeous!! Love the colors you used. I am making one with flowers--a hexagon--and wish now I would have done the 4 squares version. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Photo Lady! I've done the hexie. Gorgeous, but the 4 patch is so much easier! This print was too small for a Kaleidoscope but the sashing saved it.
I am new to your tutorials. Love how you explained this project with such ease. After watching part one, I of course had to watch part 2. I was not disappointed! It is the first time I’ve heard of a 4 block kaleidoscope. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Again I absolutely love it!!!
Thanks so much, Janet. thechosen.tv There is also an app called The Chosen and that app is available for your phone, ruku, apple tv, etc.... This show changed my life, it removed the fog of confusion I had in the Bible and it gave me a relationship with Jesus. I simply can not recommend this show enough. Start from Season one. Season 3 finale comes out on Tuesday. I know all the episodes so well I have the script memorized. God bless.
When I do these blocks, there is often one option that makes me go, "Ooh!". That is the option I choose. If any don't really excite me, then I just try to assure a good variety.
Just found this video. Seems like to much work but it is beautiful. The sashing definitely sets it off but I but sashing on all my quilts. The LQS laughs at me.
Apparently I made it more difficult than it needed to be. Cut the fabric down the center fold and match each half separately. That takes most of the work away! Thanks for watching, Janey!
When I first learned how to line up the fabric the pattern instructions had me to cut on the fold the full length of the fabric. The reason for this because when the fabric is put onto a bolt, the top side of the fabric stretches more than the opposite side of the fabric. So you might have noticed that the block centers on the bottom piece didn't quite match as well as the top pieces and the difference in the stretching is what causes this. Putting in the sashing really let each 4-patch shine. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Judith! Many viewers told me about cutting the fabric at the fold. When I learned, we left it folded. Next time, I will cut it down the fold.
Just a thought ytube now lets you set up a memberships and that might be easier than having to manage 2 platforms, As to things you could do some creators I know do special live streams each month for their paid member, or let them vote on which project you do next, there are all kinds of things you could do.
Your quilt top is beautiful with the sashing. I see that some of the blocks did repeat; but, it is still beautiful. I love watching the old black and white movies. People knew how to act back then. We don't have to see the gore (or sex) to understand what happened.
Really like the purple sashing. It turned out beautiful.
Thanks, Linda. I think the purple sashing saved it. I am thinking of turning the top into twin baby quilts. I have enough of the purple left to do that.
@@70acres Oh yeah! That would be really cute.
A very nice explanation of fabric choices. Thanks 🙂
Thanks for watching, Cheryl!
Did this quilt awhile ago and forgot how much fun this was. Ill sure be making one soon. Love the no waste. Thankyou
Hi Pam, thanks for watching! I'll be doing more of these. I got some really great fabrics that will work much better than this one.
Beautiful quilt top.
Thank you, Rhonda, and thanks for watching!
Amazing tutorial and fabulous video thanks for sharing your beautiful ideas
Thanks for watching, Naseem! I have bigger print fabrics now so subscribe. I'll be making more of these.
Beautiful result! The purple is perfect; white, or a light would not have brought the blocks forward as well. 👏👏👏

Great job !!🤗
Thank you Gigi M! And thanks for watching and commenting!
I love this fabric and sashing. Yes, the sashing made the quilt.
Thanks so much for watching, Dawn.
I love the 4 patch version of this quilt. The 6 and 8 section versions are to wild. And the sashing made the 4 patch perfect. Good job well done. Ty
Thanks for watching, Jeanette! I made another one of these with some Kaffe fabric. Look for that video. It really is striking!
This turned out so nice. I love your channel and that it is Christian based.

Gorgeous, If you think it is too large for your to quilt, you could have it long armed or split it into two baby Quilts. Gorgeous.

I think your quilt looks good.and sashing made it pop.thank you God Bless

Very nice. Definitely needed the sashing. Also less daunting with the 4 repeat as opposed to 6 or 8.
Hi Karen, thanks for watching. It turned out ok. I've done the hexie as well and the 4 patch is much easier and requres far less braincells!

Far less brain cells one is for me 😁

Never seen a four patch kaleidoscope quilt before but yours is gorgeous 🥰 The sashing really sets off the blocks 👍🇬🇧
I can't wait to try it again with a bigger print. They are so much fun and much easier then the others. Thanks for watching, Glynis! 🥰
Love your tutorial!!
Very pretty 😍 I think a red or yellow small print matching border would be super nice on it too!
P.s. I personally wouldn't join patreon, but have no idea what others like 🤔
As much as I'd like to add another border, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to quilt it. Thanks for watching, Lulu! And, thanks for the Patreon input!

When I do these blocks, there is often one option that makes me go, "Ooh!". That is the option I choose. If any don't really excite me, then I just try to assure a good variety.

What's the difference between batik and other fabrics?
They are both cotton but batiks are a tighter weave and the pattern is made with a wax resist. Thanks for watching, Kathy!

6 blocks by 8 blocks. Finished quilt size depends on how wide your sashing is, and whether you add borders.
Just a thought ytube now lets you set up a memberships and that might be easier than having to manage 2 platforms, As to things you could do some creators I know do special live streams each month for their paid member, or let them vote on which project you do next, there are all kinds of things you could do.

If you find a stripe that's interesting, you can make some awesome blocks. I so enjoy you videos. You don't tell us to buy $16 a yd. fabric or ours
