I am taking part in a virtual quilting bee set up by John. It is called sew connected 2 -yes, there is a sew connected....and if you are interested, there may be a sew connected 3!
We each have an assigned month, and first up is Kimmie. She sent out some beautiful purple batiks. I haven't worked with batiks before, so I didn't quite know what block to choose. I finally decided, that if I had to wait until I felt absolutely sure about what to make, Kimmie would NEVER recieve a block from me ;)
So I went with a kaleidoscope-block.
I almost ran out of fabric, so I ended up using some of the fabric I had intended to use for the corners to finish the wedges. And then I had to piece the corners from all the itty-bitty leftovers. Lol!
I love how it turned out though, and so does Kimmie! Yay!
If you want to see the other January-blocks, visit our flickr-group.
They are very very pretty, I think it is so interesting to see, how different these fabrics look depending on the block -and the quilter.

It is just stunning. You did a beautiful job.
I just love it! Purple is one of my favorite colors and in batiks, yummy!
the first thing I noticed was the corners and I though "how neat that is". Then as I read through I see it was maybe the only way to finish the block. Very nice!
Decision making is often the hardest part! Your block is beautiful; I really like the pattern you decided on, and the colors are spectacular. (I bet Viola likes it,too, being purple and all.) :}
Wow! Really beautiful, Tine!
Hi Tine! You made a lovely block again. I think there are winter colours. I have cut until now a little more than 500 tiny hearts... Have a nice weekend! I use it to sew princess items.
Fantastic! I think you chose the perfect pattern for those batiks.
Best
:)
Your block is beautiful and I really like its purple colour.
Tine this is lovely. what a super way to connect with new friends. i'll be thinking about joining SC3.
stunning!!!!
Lovely workwomanship. I think that sometimes ingenuity brings out the best work. :-)
You are so brave - I have shied away from kalidoscope blocks - all those points meeting in the middle. Your block looks lovely though, and I'm not surprised that Kimmie loves it :-)
that looks so HARD! it really is beautiful!
I really like to colors and the design of the block. I would have said that batiks are not my favorite. However, the more I see them the more I really like them - such great colors!
Stunning Tine! Lovely job. I haven't forgotten about the interview either...
oooo.. that is so crazy.. I love it!
I see you are in the Project Improv too. I am tempted.. but I better not sign up for anything else right now. Will be watching all the fun though.. some really great creativity I am sure.
