Quilts Revisited ~ So, I've realized that in my quilty blog, there are a ton of projects I've forgotten to blog about. Hence, I'll be posting occasionally in my "Quilts Revisited" series -- projects I'm revisiting because I didn't give them their moment on the blog when I finished them.
Many moons ago, I made a bunch of beautiful kaleidoscope blocks, some of which went into a finished quilt in 2013. The "extra" kaleidoscope blocks just sat waiting for something to do.
Almost three years ago, the opportunity came to make those extra kaleidoscopes into something new.
I also tried some mitered-corner blocks around the same time, and I brainstormed whether I could use the kaleidoscopes and mitered-corners together ...
After giving it some thought, I decided to put the two together into a reversible quilt.
Because, after all, I've got so many projects in my head, and it seems like there's not time to make them all!
The rest is just my favorite random-meandering free-motion quilting, done on my domestic sewing machine.
The quilt became a gift to bring a little warmth and cheer to a friend who's had a tough couple of years with health problems and hospitalizations. I guess if I could send a hug through the mail, it would look a lot like a quilt!
