Very pretty! You are brave to not cut all 8 layers at once and work so hard to get a exact placement with the split stacks! I like the partial kaleidoscopes in the corners. Very cool!
That's why we love the mirrors and ruler - there is little left to the imagination and you can get exact cuts even when you make them one by one :) Thanks for watching!
This is a gorgeous quilt kit, with terrific traditional Christmas colours that have been missing in fabric collections over the last few years (especially the "forest' green). I would highly recommend using PENCIL on fabric, as Frixion pens were not created for fabric, as the manufacturer Pilot attest. Pencil washes off, whereas Frixion pen chemicals stay on fabric and can reappear when washing and may show through the quilt at the white/cream fabric parts. Thanks for this "hints and tips" video Jennifer.
Absolutely Stunning! That is probably the most beautiful fabric I have ever come across. I would assume lots of waste in making a quilt in this fashion, but well worth it. Just love it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching, Sally! We sure do love this quilt too! There are lots of scraps, but we like to use them to make Mod Podge ornaments (and they coordinate!). Here's the link to that tutorial: th-cam.com/video/PrBdaMrzfN4/w-d-xo.html - Morgan
Hi Morgan, Im pretty crafty. I make scrapbooks, quilts, knit, etc. Didnt even think of that, Im in the middle of a move so a bit stressed. I still say this is the prettiest fabric ever. Once I get settled in, this is my next project. Thanks again for sharing.
@@mike1968442 Oh, you will love the Mod Podge ornaments, and it's such a fun project to do with a good movie and snacks. ;) I hope everything goes well with your move and you find time to relax and craft soon! Let me know how things go.
Thanks you, Jennifer. I wanted to make this quilt, but was very intimidated by it. I appreciate you doing the video and offering your tips and tricks!!
I made a quilt like that with the mirror but they called it stack and wack. Been about 10 years ago and it was so much fun. I kept it for myself I loved it so much🌻
I always enjoy watching you and learn so much from you.....an idea possibly to help with this.....take a clear contac paper and put it OVER the ruler.....you can mark registration marks on the contact paper with a marker ...then you can find the same area on your fabric all the time. And you can take the contact paper off without ruining you ruler. this would help for people who don't want to cut all the layers at once
WOW this is amazing I have always wanted to make a kaleidoscope block bu they always look so complicated but you have made it possible, and I just love the fabric, I can see wall hanging pillows/cushions a throw, I have to get my card out and order this
You can use any fabric you'd like! Even if it is a more crowded print it would be lovely as a kaleidoscope- there just won't be as much blank space if it isn't laid out like a strip :) Hopefully that makes sense!
Tip...if you place your piece you are matching up onto your ruler with a double sided tape or the little grip dots and lay it over the top of your layered fabric it makes it easier. 😉 I saw that somewhere on TH-cam and thought I would share
Since this is a tutorial for the kaleidoscope block we have not included the measurements for the rest of the quilt. The pattern is on sale right now, if you're interested :) www.shabbyfabrics.com/One-Fabric-Kaleidoscope-Wallhanging-Pattern-P57256.aspx Or you can grab the full kit, which includes the pattern, and all top fabrics including borders and binding: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Winter-Twist-Kaleidoscope-Wall-Hanging-Kit-P56569.aspx
We're glad you enjoy this fun pattern! While we don't have the kaleidoscope pattern available that we used for this quilt, we do have a few patterns and the ruler that we used available here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/search?sortOrder=6&q=kaleidoscope Thanks for watching! 💖 -Michelle
While it is a worthy option, we do offer solutions for various skill levels and we have found it can be a bit difficult for some to accurately cut through that many fabric layers. Thanks for watching! -Michelle
Hi Ellen! Thanks for watching! We don't use smaller stitches than normal here, although that's certainly an option if you want to. We're just very careful not to pull, push, or tug on the fabric as it feeds through the machine to prevent warping. Hope that helps! - Morgan
I am watching this video 5 years after it was made....and would love to try to track down the fabric. I can't understand the name of the company you are saying- even when I turn on closed captioning. Can you please share with me the company name so I can find this beautiful fabric?
We no longer have that kit available. If you are interested in Kaleidoscope Quilts, you can check this one out. It's not Christmas but it is beautiful! www.shabbyfabrics.com/-The-Leah-Collection-Kaleidoscope-Quilt-Kit-P85891.aspx - Beth
This is "Winter Twist" however, we don't have the full collection in stock but we do have a kit for this quilt: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Winter-Twist-Kaleidoscope-Wall-Hanging-Kit-P56569.aspx
Hi Rebecca - You can find the ruler that we used for these blocks here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p51655 And the magic mirrors here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p36170 -Michelle
It definitely is fussy-cutting and takes some time, but if you want to try it makes such a beautiful result. Let us know if you do end up giving it a go. - Morgan
Instead of making 2 stacks of 4 why not make 1 stack of 8 eliminating problems being exact on the 2 stacks? Nothing a new blade in your 60mm rotary blade couldn't handle!
That is a great option! While we do use fresh blades for new projects, we typically keep our stacks lower due to routine and cutting accuracy (i.e. instead of messing up 8 cuts at a time, we'd only mess up 4 😊 ) 💖 -Michelle
You are an exceptional teacher-soft spoken, gentle, knowledgeable.
Thank you for your kind words! We're happy you enjoy this project. -Michelle
Great tutorial...best one I've seen on hex blocks. This way seems much more creative.
Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed this tutorial. ❤️ -Michelle

This is when the matching/line-up/repeat skills I learned from years of hanging wallpaper will come in handy.
No kidding! That's incredibly helpful for this kind of project! Let us know how yours goes.
Обалдеть!!! Какая красота!!! Мастеру браво!!!

We are very glad you enjoyed this tutorial! Thanks sew much for watching, and don't forget that we release a new tutorial every Tuesday!! -Michelle

So happy you like it! Thanks for watching!

What a great tip - you can also use this same method with a dry-erase marker directly on your ruler :)
Beautiful Quilt You Did A Great Job.

B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. - a kaleidoscope is on my bucket list :)
This is a great bucket list quilt!
You do such beautiful work Jennifer. Maybe after I master a few dozen quilts or so, I will try this. But it is Very pretty
We hope you will try this! It is a lot easier than it appears :)
This is so gorgeous!!
So happy you like it, Laurie!
Shabby Fabrics I love everything you do! 💕
Thank you, Jen! It's very pretty:)
Thank you so much for your kind comment!
Absolutely beautiful quilt and thank you Jennifer for showing us how to make those blocks. Can one use any fabric that has rows of stripes?
You can use any fabric you'd like! Even if it is a more crowded print it would be lovely as a kaleidoscope- there just won't be as much blank space if it isn't laid out like a strip :) Hopefully that makes sense!
So pretty!
So happy you like this quilt, Shea! Thank you for watching!

Pinning all 8 fabrics seems to be the most accurate

I will definitely try this one. By the way..... you still look like a young quilter to me lol. Just love your chanel.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and support!

Hi Jennifer, thanks for another great tutorial. Looking at the stitches. Do you use a smaller stitch as you normally would, since this is all bias?
