It is 13 pages packed full of diagrams and instructions to help even the newest beginner to quilting make a successful end product and includes options for 2 centre blocks. The (new) Piccolo Kaleidoscope quilt has instructions to make 5 sizes. In fact I have to admit it is a lovely quilt filled with lesson, good intentions and inevitable flaws. And also I was right, scallops were the perfect way to finish her off and add to the gorgeous charm.A huge thank you to Goodness Coffee Co too for letting me take over the front of their beautiful coffee shop for a minute, I love this place! It wasn’t her, it was very definitely me.īut here is the great news – from a distance YOU CAN”T TELL. If you want to try these for yourself then this is the tutorial I used – I am sure you can learn from my mistakes and do a WAY better job. Now to be really honest these scallops are terrible, I jumped in without thought and it shows. It was my fabulous followers that pulled me out of the creative hole I was in and got me to see the whole picture for what it was. It was a true creative process which I documented on Instagram over the past few weeks. Long story made very short because I’m dying to get to the good stuff but I made them, I hated them, I cried, I hid the quilt, I pulled it out and forced myself to push through the photos anyway. Turns out if you are going to attempt this then you need to pay attention to those things, they are a big deal to the finish lol.

You guys there are so hard! SO HARD! I made every rookie mistake possible too – made the scallops too small, didn’t cut the binding on the bias, assumed I could just wing it. I knew in my heart scallop borders would look amazing with this fabric collection so I set about to add sashing and get them made. Somewhere along the way I, in my infinite wisdom decided I wanted to get fancy. It was supposed to be a quick turnaround to release. I redrafted it to send to testers, made the quilt top, blogged and sent everything off to testers.

When Gingham Farm by Riley Blake arrived I knew immediately this was the range I wanted to work with to update the pattern. Kaleidoscope was first on my list because I wanted to play with the idea of a low volume background rather than just a solid (although lets be honest it looks just as great this way too!). Over the past 6 months I have been working on the idea of updating those initial patterns to offer more size options and add more detailed diagrams. Turn the folded edge of the binding to the back side of the quilt and stitch in place by hand, mitering the corners.The original Kaleidoscope quilt made using Tilda Lemon Tree

With a 1/4" seam, sew the raw edges of the binding to the edges of the right side of the quilt.

Fold the binding in half lengthwise, with wrong sides together and press.

Sew the binding Strips together to form one long Strip.

Layer the backing, batting and quilt top.

Sew the two 1 1/2 yd pieces of the backing fabric together along the selvedge edge to make the backing.

Starting with the top row, sew the rows together.

You will make the rows as shown in Diagrams 4 and 5.

The quilt has nine rows of seven blocks in each row.

Again refer to the block diagrams, add the corner triangles.

Finally, sew two of the four pieced triangle sections together to make the block center. Sew them together in pairs first, then sew two pairs together.

Using the block diagrams as a guide, start by sewing the eight large center triangles together (on the long side).

You will make the following quantities of the blocks:

There are three different variations of the same block for the quilt.

Press the seams open when making each block so there is less bulk in the center.

All seam allowances are 1/4" unless noted.
