[@gwenwolff6607]

Love the EASY Kaffe kaleidoscope blocks! It might take me WEEKS to decide which blocks to make SO many beautiful choices! Thanks very much for showing me how 💗

[@jeaninegunn4118]

What a fun idea to simply used squares!! I will definitely be following your steps with a large piece of vintage Kaffe I have. Thanks!!

[@marionbarber984]

This is one of those times where I want to wear that fabric! So vibrant!

[@70acres]

I know, Marion! I don't know why I am so drawn to these fabrics but they just make me happy! Thanks for watching!

[@ksharpe8137]

You have shown how to make a kaleidoscope quilt in a way that my brain can understand it!!! I want to try it!

[@70acres]

I'm so glad my video helped you, K! Have fun making lots of these! Thanks for watching.

[@lesa6399]

Anything Kaffee, and I am smitten..!!! The whole quilt is a blast of beauty..!! I’m a pro pattern maker from garment industry- a digital designer…and responsible for where in those huge “markers” there will b repeats…but in quilting-fabulous moment of real designing a quilt..!! So, big thanks for showing off your design/work- Love it-ThANKS-for your hard work…!

[@70acres]

Thanks so much for watching, Augenia! I wish I could make clothes. I've tried but everything looks like a potato sack. Kaffe is my favorite! I have quite the stash of his fabrics!

Just found this video yesterday. This is in my near future.

Thanks for the repeat directions for this easy kaleidoscope with big print. Love the humor!

You are most welcome, Anna! Thanks for watching!

I have never understood how to do this until watching your videos. Thank you for getting this skill through my thick skull! 😂😂😂 ❤

Wow I really like this. Am going to put it on my bucket list.

[@70acres]

I hope you have fun with it, Robin. Thanks for watching!

[@wasloan8202]

This is so much easier than a hexagon kaleidoscope quilt, but just as beautiful. Thank you for the explanation on how to make sure your layers of fabrics are lined up.

[@70acres]

Thanks for watching, wasloan! It is much easier to do!

[@pegasusquilts]

I just discovered you. Lucky me! I made a hexagon kaleidoscope years ago, and it was MUCH harder. I'm so impressed with how great this print (which is definitely not my normal style !) Works out.

[@70acres]

I'm the lucky one, Pegasus! Thanks for watching! I made the hexi one also and this one is by far, more satisfying to make!

[@rosaliegray1253]

I just discovered your website. What fun. Watching episodes again 👍👍👍

[@70acres]

Thank you so much, Rosalie! I’m glad you found me!

[@DeborahGriffith-dc1eu]

absolutely beautiful i will now have to go find fabric so i can do this i am recovering from knee surgery so this winter i will need something to keep me busy thank for the lovey tip

[@70acres]

I hope your knee heals quickly, Deborah! Thanks for watching!

[@sueduquemin7119]

I love how each four patch can make a different pattern

[@70acres]

I never get tired of them! Thanks for watching, Sue!

[@sandrahaigh2976]

Love the idea of making a kaleidoscope quilt. Had my delivery of a Kaffe Fassett Free Spirit Charm pack today of beautiful blues, purple and pinks. Not sure one charm pack is going to enable me to do Kaleidoscope though 😊 I have ordered some pink patterned fat quarters to go with it, so who knows 😊 Thank you for your tutorial 💙💜💕

[@sheilacarroll7143]

Love the Kaffe fabric! 😍😍😍 Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹🍁

[@70acres]

Thanks for watching, Sheila!🥰😍💕

[@peterivkovich2314]

from Gerry- Looking so good. I put a sashing between my blocks, but yours looks nice without one. Be blessed.

[@70acres]

Thanks for watching, Gerry! Yes, it all depends on the fabric. My last one of these needed the sashing. God bless!

[@dianner6637]

Just love your video and looking forward to watching part 2. I love Kaffe Fassett fabric and this is an amazing way to create a beautiful quilt. Thank you!

[@70acres]

Hi Dianne, thanks for watching! Such a simple pattern but so pretty!

[@rosbrettle6871]

Never thought about a "four patch" what a great Idea. Thank you so much kind regards Ros from Australia

[@70acres]

Thanks for watching, Ros! Part 2 comes out this Friday at 6pm Eastern

[@lindafrantz4913]

I love how this one is coming together. It’s beautiful! Love the fabric you chose. This is soooo addicting. You’re right! It is easier than the Potato Chip block. Thanks again!!!!

[@70acres]

Thank YOU for the reminder. I had fun with this one.🥰😘😍💕

[@lindafrantz4913]

@@70acres You’re welcome! I can’t wait to see your finished quilt. We’ll probably be going up to Asheville next week if they have a service for Joshua Frantz. Not sure if you get Asheville’s news or not. He’s Mark’s nephew and the police found his body in a motel. He went to a concert with some friends last Friday. No one knows what happened. He was 33. There doing an autopsy and investigating the crime scene. His family have been at our house and leaving today. Sure hope and pray they get some answers. Hope he’s in the arms of Jesus.

[@70acres]

@@lindafrantz4913 Oh, Linda, I am so very sorry. I don't have cable/tv and we are 3 hours North of Asheville so we don't get the news up here. He was so young, I hope they figure out what happened to him. God bless, my friend.

Your step-by-step instructions just help me figure out what I needed to understand about laying out the fabric single layer or double. Thank you so much.

I don't have any breezes in my sewing but 5 cats and a little dog. Love your videos. Have a Blessed day.

This is the first time I’ve seen you and I am hooked! You are fun and informative and if all your designs are this wonderful I can see me stepping into a new level of quilting! Thanks for sharing!

[@70acres]

Welcome, Rose, and thank you for such a sweet comment, and for watching. I try to make my videos fun and informative.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this technique..... 🌺❤🌺

[@70acres]

You are most welcome, Nancy. Thanks for watching!🥰💕😍

[@cheyennehdakota854]

Positively love! Quicker than hexie piecing. Excellent also for corner stones on wide borders. Half blocks would also make great borders. Thanks so much for the directions!

[@victoriamurphy3771]

What a great concept! I’ve never seen this before and you explained the process so clearly! I’m curious to know more about the little birdies on the left if your design wall. Do you have videos on how you made them?

[@barbarajefferysings]

I made one of these. I really didn't like all of the blocks, though some were WOWs! BUT, when it was put together, I fell in love with it!

[@glynisreynolds446]

This is an amazing idea 🤩 and the resulting blocks are mind blowing ⭐️⭐️ Looking forward to seeing your finished quilt top 🤔Thank you so much for sharing 👏👏🇬🇧

Thanks for watching, Glynis! I hope you give this one a try, it is so much fun.

Thank you, It's my first time watching you and you made my day. I have always wanted to make this quilt, but found it too complicated. your is a breeze will be making it. love, love, love it.

[@70acres]

Hi Myra! Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm so happy my video gave you a push to try this quilt. It is so easy, and honestly, if your cuts are off a bit, no one will notice... and if they do notice.... they don't get any more quilts! ;-)

[@sherryfaires7931]

I enjoyed this a lot! I am so glad to learn this technique can be done with a four patch block. I had only seen it done with triangles to make hexagons or octagons. This is beautiful, too! I also like your block arrangement. I am so sorry the wind blew them off the wall. Picking them up off the floor would not have been fun… even if the breeze did feel good!

[@70acres]

Hi Sherry! So glad you liked the video. I've got them back up on the wall and will be sewing the top together for Friday's video. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@patriciaguevara8793]

That’s so pretty! Can I ask the pattern name / tutorial on the quilt behind you?

[@70acres]

Thanks for watching, Patricia! The quilt behind me was my Chickens in the Corner quilt. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goXaiGuBnKeKns0 and the diamond border I put on it is from this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKbKgp1-icSdjZI

How are the cranky crafters? I miss them. I hope they are well.

[@70acres]

Thanks for watching.

[@lindadenton7431]

love this way but did not get how you layered it when you cut the fold and then which ones did you layer together? was all the right up together and the face down all together>

[@70acres]

I cut the four repeats and split them down the center fold. I stacked the four front pieces together and matched patterns and then I repeated this for the back pieces. I stacked both matched groups on top of each other to cut the strips. You can do the fronts and backs separately if you wish. Cutting 8 layers at once is a bit foolish of me. Thanks for watching, Linda!
