Kaleidoscope Scrap Pillow

I started this week with another quilt and what is going to turn into a big project. I had a few bins full of scraps I used the accuquilt to cut up from a quilt last year.  I knew there were pieces I could turn into flying geese.  Well, I liked what I was doing soo much that now it’s going to be a big project and I had to find a new one.  So that turned into me seeing a book I had on the counter by Lori Holt.  Kaleidoscope Quilt.  

     The Kaleidoscope block has 12 flying Geese, so it fits this weeks Project Quilting Challenge. I went to my scrap pack cabinet and saw a bag of old Lori Holt Fabric from 2011.  So I knew it would be perfect for this! 

I used the big block that came out as 16.5 inches.  Then added a 2.5 inch strip around.  After sewing it up and making a false binding, it comes out to fit a 20 inch pillow perfectly! 

Quilted it with a plain wavy line pattern.  Then backed it with a dot variety from the collection.  I think it’s called Daisy Cottage. 

Took the photo on my front porch where of course it’s covered in the spring pollen.  But it kinda matches the mustard in the center.  Now it has me wanting to finish using up this collection I held onto.

Project Quilting Challenges done for the year. Already can’t wait til next year!!
