4 Patch Kaleidoscope! FUN & EASY! Part 2

[@lindafrantz4913]

Really like the purple sashing. It turned out beautiful.

[@70acres]

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.

[@lindafrantz4913]

@@70acres Oh yeah! That would be really cute.

[@pamroeder4343]

Did this quilt awhile ago and forgot how much fun this was. Ill sure be making one soon. Love the no waste. Thankyou

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.

[@70acres]

Thanks for watching, Itcouldbeanyone! I'll be doing more of these so stick around.

[@stitchpenniesofficial]

Beautiful result! The purple is perfect; white, or a light would not have brought the blocks forward as well. 👏👏👏

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!

[@rhondahallet8413]

Really like the sashing you have chosen. I am a kindred spirit as I watch KZbin and a very few select Christian shows. I am pleasantly surprised by how many quilting KZbin's are Christians. I think it's why the community is so connected and supportive of each other. You are a true inspiration.

[@70acres]

Thank you, Rhonda, for watching and for your kind comment! I hope our community grows and remains strong with Jesus.

[@marionbarber984]

Very lovely.

[@stitchann]

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.

[@70acres]

Thanks for watching, Debra! That is a great idea about making it into twin baby quilts. That might just be what I do.

[@ninatrusty2057]

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.

[@70acres]

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.

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!!

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

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

[@70acres]

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!

I really like the sashing…and I am so glad you changed to 6 by 8 blocks! A beautiful quilt! Thank you! I enjoy your show! '

Thanks so much for watching, Sherry! Had someone else suggest breaking it in half to 4 x 6 and make two matching baby quilts! I might just do that.

You made a beautiful quilt. The size is perfect! I like larger quilts, especially quilts that can be used to cover myself on the couch. Blessings.

[@70acres]

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.

[@evelynfrench804]

@@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. 😀

[@robintaylor8421]

I like this. Will be on my bucket list. Thank you

[@70acres]

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! 😉

[@anitalapierre1585]

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!

[@70acres]

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!

[@anitalapierre1585]

@@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.

[@70acres]

I'm so glad you're going to try this, Anita. With an easy pattern like this you can enjoy the magic of each block coming together.

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! 🥰

Great method!! I've done a kaliedoscope quilt with a kaliedoscope ruler before but the four patch seems so less daunting! TFS!

@@70acres Melissa thank you so much xx

[@judithburke1539]

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.

[@70acres]

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.

[@barbarajefferysings]

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.

[@barbarajefferysings]

6 blocks by 8 blocks. Finished quilt size depends on how wide your sashing is, and whether you add borders.

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.
