Kaleidoscope progress....

I think I have decided on a layout. This will be it.

They are as half blocks now and are picked up for piecing together to make blocks. I tried a different layout of alternating the purple and blue but it just was not what I was thinking. I'll settle on this layout and now get this one into a top over the next week. I won't be sending this home with my parents..... so the deadline is the beginning of June so I can ship it up to the recipient for her HS graduation.
Now I need to go color some Easter coloring pages with the kids on this very rainy and thundery Saturday. We are planning to head out to a Japanese Steak House for the Hibachi table this evening. I hope my Mom can make it. We went bowling with the kids yesterday afternoon and she took a bit of a spill and is pretty sore today. That is going to make for a very long ride in the car if they do leave tomorrow as planned. I'm hoping they will stay another day or two =).

I like the layout! The recipient will love this quilt! Sure hope your mom is doing better. It is so hard to travel when you are sore. ~Jeanne

I love the secondary pattern that's created with this quilt.

I hope your Mom is feeling better ... I imagine that car ride is a long one ... it would be waaaay longer if she's still sore.

Oh my! That's one lucky HS grad. That quilt is gorgeous.

I really like that layout - it works really well. I like the congregation of pinks in the middle end.

I love your quilt. I have cut out one to sew at retreat next week, I just hope it looks as good as yours when it is finished.

I like the layout. That pale blue looks really nice as the background. How unique!
