Most of the fabric is from Birch's Eiko collection. Sadly, Eiko prints are getting scarce and won't be re-printed as far as I know. I'm glad I had enough to get this one done!
As I'm looking at the picture below, I'm thinking I should add one more row to the bottom, so that the overall kaleidoscope design will be symmetrical. That would make the quilt 56" x 56", which would be a nice throw size. (No more babies in this household!)
I was so excited to get this one on the longarm. But now that it looks like I'll be adding another row (hopefully I will have enough scraps for another 5 blocks!!), I'm not quite so irked that the longarm quit on me in the middle of a customer quilt yesterday. I'm waiting for a service call, and hopefully I will get it back up and running soon!
I'm linking up with Lee's weekly WIP Wednesday series. See you there!

Way to make the most of a "wait for service call" Lovely pattern and prints. I too hope you have enough for the last row - but if now it still looks good.
To come to the conclusion after the fact that I need to add an extra row is a major set back for me. It feels like one step forward, and two steps back. In my mind I'm finished, but in reality, I have to keep at it. That being said, I hate to say it, but I think one more row would be nice. Nice fabrics!
Greetings from Germany!
Beautiful! I love blocks like this where a secondary pattern emerges once you get them all together. I made a Flowering Snowball quilt this winter and that has that element too. Very nice job!
This is one of my favorite patterns out there right now! I love the fun fabrics you chose too!
Love the secondary pattern that you can see in that. And I agree. If you have enough to make another row, it really does need it to look "finished".
Great pattern, great fabrics. Way to be patient and look at the overall design and be willing to adjust it!
