The Kaleidoscope Quilt Along: Fabric Round Up & The Plan

Sooo, about my Kaleidoscope Quilt and the Quilt Along over at Don't Call Me Betsy! Actually, not MINE...Cornelia's. Cornelia's Kaleidoscope Quilt. ;)

I've got my stack of fabrics rounded up and a plan drawn out. This is getting to be LOTs of FUN! Ask my hubby. He's enjoying it just as much, believe it or not. :) Which makes it even OODLES more fun!

This is the stack of fabrics that I'll be using in this quilt for my newborn (she's already 6+ weeks) daughter, Cornelia. Some came from my stash, others I would randomly pick up upon falling in love with them. :)



I was inspired, in part, by Cluck Cluck Sew's "Kaleidoscope" Quilt. The dots mostly, not sure I'm going to use the dots at this point, but I have a general idea of what it may look like this way. Also, the four corners of my blocks will be a coordinating fabric from the same color family, although it doesn't show in this layout.

Here, my hubby is "organizing" my background fabrics (not using a solid, but 8 different patterend grays) by turning the layout into a type of Sudoku Puzzle, which he loves (and I very much do not), bless his heart!

Has it been THAT long??

Wow, looks like I've been off the Bloggy Radar for months. :/ Been busy baking a baby. ;) Cornelia Ruth Hosanna was born on May 2 and I'm about to embark on the journey of making my new baby girl a special just-for-her quilt. I made one for my Josefine and, as a result, fell in love with the art of quilting! ♥

So, I'll get to the point...I'm joining a quilt along! And, I'm not exactly sure how it will go, but I'm going to try. I decided on using the Kaliedoscope block and this Quilt Along happens to be featuring that very thing. So, why not join the fun? :)

And I can't post this without a very darling picture of my newest Li'l Miss. :)
