I have the border beyond the blocks added to my kaleidoscope quilt. The center is finished. I just really like the circle effect as a secondary pattern. There is no curve piecing just shading. It is the focus right now for the 5 quilt project. I started it in 2016.
I am trying to add a final set of blocks to the border that I can cut into a straight edge for finishing.

I have the center finished for my kaleidoscope quilt. I have an idea for the border, I just have to work out the sequence. I wasn't sure I was going to see the magic of the quilt, until, the center was together. I love it so far. I already want to do another, but, I have to remember I started with almost everything done as an older ufo. So, it won't be as easy as it seems now.

I try to work on these 5 quilts until they are done. Their turn in the UFO closet is over, and, they need to be finished one way or another. My top priority this year are the quilts in the to be quilted closet.
I was able to finish some oldies but goodies and some that hadn't lived in the to be quilted closet very long. My goal for the year was to seriously make a dent in my quilts that needed to be quilted and I have. I started with 34 and I have 6 ready, now. Of course, as I finish an older ufo it also needs to be quilted.
I finished 6 ufos in August. 29 ufos for 2024
In August, I wanted to finish 2 quilts In the 'to be quilted closet' before I did any other UFOs. I did the two I planned for August. I finished....

1. garlic knots -ready for quilting
2. scrappy twirl new in March -I just can't seem to take this quilt seriously. Maybe I should put it back in the box. But, no, I will not be intimidated, I am leaving it on my design wall and will wait patiently for inspiration.

Part of my 5 quilt project is an older ufo called kaliedescope. I took A workshop with Mary Huey When I opened the box only half of the blocks were finished, so, I am finishing the blocks. All the pieces were cut in 2016. I made most of the dark blocks I need at a Friday sew. Next are the light blocks. I am liking the fabrics I chose way back when.
I try to work on these 5 quilts until they are done. Their turn in the UFO closet is over, and, they need to be finished one way or another. My top priority this year are the quilts in the to be quilted closet.
I had an easier time finishing this month because the luck of the draw were smaller quilts. It makes me look good. haha The closet looks noticeably emptier, but not so much I want to quit finishing older quilt ufos.
I finished 4 ufos in July.
In July, I wanted to finish 2 quilts In the 'to be quilted closet' before I did any other UFOs. I did the two I planned for July. I finished....
