I love that you are so calm and patient. This quilt is a lot of fun to do, but it's not for everyone.

[@annierubyslipperz589]

Your voice is very calming and instructions are simple and clear…not wordy (I love this!). Too many times the verbal instructions are just too wordy and the real “meat” of what the steps are, get muddy. Thanks for taking the time to create these great videos! ❤

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Wow, thank you! Stay tuned for Part 3 this coming Wednesday 😉

[@nataliegist2014]

I love this pattern, I lost my books in a fire, but still have blocks to put together. I’m glad I found your videos.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Oh no! 😥

[@camillecimo2806]

Learned a lot!

[@karin0963]

This is so cool to watch. I love how the fabrics make these designs. I had a kaleidoscope as a kid too. Thank you for the tutorial on cutting the fabric. You did an amazing job.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I did too 💕

[@teresadonovan1980]

You are making this look really easy thanks

[@thaicajun]

This was my very first quilt as a beginner quilter…20+ yrs ago. This video brought back some good memories ❤

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Oh wow! That was a tough one to start out with

[@violet2048]

Hi Beth, I heard you say you were concerned about your ruler slipping. For over 30 years I've used the Clover sandpaper tabs, they are easy to apply and work great. No more slipping. There are other products on the market, I just like these best. Cutting the actual triangles would be an excellent opportunity for suggestive marketing, there's a Kaleidoscope ruler, Quilt in a Day 60-degree angle rule, there must be several on your notions wall.

[@helenmorgan4003]

Looking great, what a challenge.

[@tearose3763]

Adorable!

[@dianesozio7035]

You’re an excellent teacher. The birds are beautiful💕 The class I took at LQS was such a nightmare. YOU would have helped me understand the steps!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shannonway2532]

Fun video! Love those little birds. 💕💕

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Thank you 🤗

[@stitchpenniesofficial]

I think I’m going to have to jump on and do one of these…it just looks too fun! I know a few of the other gals are as well. Thanks, Sheri ❤

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Go for it!

[@sheryllanciano7808]

I love this! Now I want to try to make one. Thanks for the demo!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Go for it!

[@brendarainwater6049]

How pretty!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Thank you! 😊

[@lindajones7643]

I did 2 stack and whack a few years back ofcourse I gave them both away!

[@jenniestraynick537]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

You're very welcome!

[@juanitahooker1150]

Great tutorial. I’m adding this to my quilt list for the future.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Please do!

[@ginettelefebvre8817]

Wow beautiful Sheri. Thank you so much for showing us how to do this. ... abd what's great is when I'm ready to this I can rewatch your video . I love all that you do to keep everything interesting and your knowledge makes learning so easy. Thanks for your patience and time. I very much appreciate you. Happy holidays. Hope Blue is enjoying his trip as well. Hugs

[@lessonslearnt5966]

You are so welcome❤️

[@genevabritt3988]

+this is a fun and beautiful pattern, just time consuming.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Yes, it takes time, but you feel like you’ve really done something special

[@rebeccamayers2056]

Look at the salvage it will tell you when the pattern repeats.

[@madlynshepherd9116]

So cute. I've been wanting to do 1 of these quilts.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

You can do it!

[@noemir8262]

Fun! This looks like something that you can enter in a competition once done 😉. Girl you made me nervous with that rotary cutter! I even gasped at one point that I thought you were going to cut yourself 😂! I won't deny that I have left my cutter open on occasion too ☺️ It was probably due to all that concentration required for the kaleidoscope pattern.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

So far, I’ve never had an accident with a rotary cutter. It’s always hard to watch someone else use one.

[@ellencowell8758]

Oh my gosh! I honestly thought you were going to ruin that beautiful bird fabric but it’s just the opposite, it shows it off even more! I’m going to do this with panels I got from Sew Yeah! Love it!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

It’s an amazing and fun project!

[@karenrobertson8413]

Pretty

[@kathyneiman3517]

Spirograph, yes.

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Wow, so pretty, I think you gave good tips, but not sure if I'm ready for a Kaleidoscope quilt yet.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

You can do it!

[@kathyneiman3517]

The best way to determine repeat is to look at the printers mark on the selvedge

[@anjamaas7140]

The birds are looking great. I want to start one, but I'm afraid to start cutting.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

You can do it!

[@Lisa-rm9ev]

I favour the 1" strip method, thanks for showing us that trick. Who's bird fabric is that please.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I’ll have to check out your method. I’m sorry, I do not remember the origin of the bird fabric. I do know it’s a digitally printed fabric, possibly Dan Miller.

[@ndlz1]

🙏 Will the 1/4” seams diminish the present design?

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Very little

[@StephRenee812]

What about other shapes to add to it to build it out. Tessellation tiling?. I only have one that's ruler it's alittle bigger than yours and I'm struggling to make my own shapes. I think I'm kver thinking it. Lol. Thank you for this video.. most hse the fancy rulers.. or the one that's that are other shapes.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

You can. When Part 4 of this series comes out, you will see that I add more diamond and triangle shapes to these hexagons.

[@user-dc6jk2dm6p]

how much fabric do you need to make this quilt and what will be the final size?

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Carmen, send me an email to [e-mail] with this question and I’ll get that for you.

[@annettemaxie-mahmoud2390]

Challenging and requires lots of focus. but it is going to be beautiful with all the birds and colors! ❤

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Well said

[@jennyharris2993]

I like to see it done but it’s not for me

[@angelikaimnaehglueck]

23:49 the bird will disappear in the seam allowence.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Yes, that will happen on some, but the idea is to get the kaleidoscope effect and not so much showcasing individual motifs. Watch Part 3 next week and you’ll see what I mean.

[@angelikaimnaehglueck]

@@lessonslearnt5966 I know, what you mean, I sew kaleidoscopes nearly every week.

[@karenkurdziel4069]

Why would you not want to starch before starting-it should reduce any potential stretching (I try to wash and start before cutting for any project that focuses on accuracy)

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Just my preference. I can appreciate the reasons for doing it though.

[@lucilaflores4912]

Very pretty but too much work 😂
