It's not every Wednesday I have a new great-niece....and the fabric...

First off the exciting news...I have a new great-niece, Ellexis Nyckol, born this afternoon. I hope to go visit her tomorrow. I guess I was so excited that I didn't get any sewing done tonight...or maybe I was too lazy...anyway, someone asked about the fabric I am using for the kaleidoscope blocks.

This is it before cutting. It is best to have a very busy fabric for these types of quilts, but I was afraid the flowers were too similiar to make many different patterns. They seem to be turning out ok, though. I love hawaiian prints for stack & whack type quilts.

Guess who..I didn't  have that fabric on the floor for more than a minute and she was on it.

She is really becoming a fabric connoisseur!

Here are the link blocks, I cut the fabric repeating for these too, though it probably won't be noticeable.

They will bring a point out from the kaleidoscope blocks.

You have to love a gal who enjoys her fabric so much!
